I feel fine today, I had dreams of you in places I’ve not seen before (Everyone's perspective of me and him, or me to him, or even him to me.) 'You seem tired today, were you up all night afraid of what the future might bring.' (Me saying that I'm done covering up for him.I'm going to leave all the past behind.not let his drama or drama of others affect me.) (Trying to stay positive - yet filled with uncertainty of what tomorrow will bring.)

'I’ll find a better way, Am I crazy or the wind is gonna blow me down.' (The result of me not self-medicating.there's nothing to easy my pain.therefore, I am feeling all the heartache and the struggles 10-fold.) 'I’m on fire today, Ain’t no water here to calm or even put me out.' (Me saying I'm alright.I've let go of the past.and he's going to find a way to cross and be clean just as I'm going to find a way to cross the next bridge and get to a more secure future without him somehow.) 'I’m alright today, You gonna find a way to cross and you gonna get there.' So - when I hear the lyrics.here's what this song means to me: My pain and heartache is and always has been completely 's not self-medicated at all.so I feel the consequences of his decisions way more than he ever will. It amazes me every day how someone like me who never tried drugs or was addicted to anything in my life can be left to suffer more than the addict themselves. My life right now is a daily struggle just living day to day - and I fear homelessness every day. Everything was pretty much a downward spiral and all was lost. For two years, I went into co-dependency mode constantly trying to 'fix' him and get 'our' life back - but I was dragged right down with him. I was in a 10 year relationship with a man who I had a GREAT life with.successful in our relationship, successful in business, successful in got addicted to drugs and everything fell apart. I heard this song and it hits home with me. Thus the line about 'you build walls around your heart to try to lock it in.' Whoever the subject of the song is, their partner sees their improvement but also worries about their nature and the possibility of a return to addiction, ergo 'you worry me'. It is about the struggle for recovery you might 'feel fine today', but you may also feel 'crazy or the wind might blow down.' Though 'you are on the mend' and 'you gonna find a way to cross and you gonna get there', you have to realize the truth of addiction: there is a void in your heart you are trying to fill with a substance. It could be how he feels about her, or conversely he could be describing how she feels about him. I believe this song is about a couple, he and the woman he loves. He also makes allusions specifically to the negative consequences of alcohol and addiction in other songs, such as 'S.O.B.' and 'Wasting Time'. Rateliff has struggled with an addiction to alcohol in his life. To 'dry up' is obviously a reference to an alcoholic going on the wagon. ∙ After three years of multiple TV-show placements and commercial appearances, their enduring signature hit, “S.O.B.,” was certified Platinum in 2018.The most revealing lyric is in the chorus: 'I'm going to leave it all out there to dry up'. ∙ Tearing at the Seams, the band’s 2018 sophomore LP, was produced by Richard Swift (The Black Keys, The Shins) and features the indie-pop band Lucius on “Babe I Know” and “Coolin’ Out.” ∙ For 2017’s Black Friday Record Store Day, they released a seasonal vinyl 7-inch containing their smoldering takes on the holiday classics “Baby It’s Cold Outside” and “Santa Baby.” ∙ The band’s amped-up 2017 live album, Live at Red Rocks, closes with a joyous cover of Sam Cooke’s “Having a Party” backed by special guests Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

∙ Upon its release, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats became a Top 10 album in the US, Belgium, and Canada, going on to hit No. ∙ A couple of weeks before the release of their 2015 Gold-selling self-titled debut LP, the band performed “S.O.B.” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats was formed in 2013 as a Southern soul side-project by their frontman after he’d spent a decade performing mostly as a folk-inspired solo act.
