"This Life" is a song by American rock band Vampire Weekend, released as the third single from their fourth studio album Father of the Bride. It was released on April 4, 2019, by Columbia Records as a double A-side with "Unbearably White". The highly referential song contrasts bright music against a lyrical exploration of uncertainty and suffering, and was written by lead singer Ezra Koenig with iLoveMakonnen and Mark Ronson.

Hey Cybie - yep Blackfinger on this one - I find it works well with my PB but is less good on the JB - I think the PB pickups are 'hotter' and the Blackfinger needs a powerful signal..

@Jungle Jim: interesting I have a JB with active pickups maybe I can drive it a little harder.

Been working on the vocals for a bit! A lot of backing vocals, phew! By this time, my husband is getting worried I am cheating on him.. xp "Back to the cheating song"? "Yeah.." haha Hopefully this is it for the most part :)

LOL. Yeah. I think most of us can relate where our spouse is like "What the hell are you doing in there? I barely see you any more." haha. Anyway, that is one BAD ASS vocal performance(s), Marj! Sounds great! And way to stay with it through the end of the song. Thanks so much!

@brijamcam: Haha right :p The harmony was pretty hard to hear, so after I recorded it the first and I listened back, my version was pretty crap xp So had to redo a lot haha. But glad you like it, thank you :)

Spectacular track Jungle J!! I see that head bobbing works just as good for rhythm as toe tapping. haha. Excellent work! Thanks!
