They toured nationally for a few years before returning to academia, and reducing their tour schedule to select cities which they would visit a few times each year.
Their music is self-described as "Suburban Wussy Rock" - usually two singers with acoustic guitars while touring. Nathan plays some rhythm guitar while Joti provides the accompaniment.
Last heard from, Joti is working in the academic world of bluegrass music. Nathan works for a music publishing company on the East coast.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be the one who comes back to all the things I said before
But my intution fails me and I'm into all that hails me
And I'm much too proud to ask you for yours
blame it all
Never seen that before
Blame it all
So you blame it all on better days
Quick its busy now its yours now its boring now its pourin out our age
Blame it all on better days
I wanna quit rewards
There must be some redemtion
When I keep my self control
I wanna keep my self control
I wanna keep myself control
I didn't want didn't want to be your pressure boy
In the end your only filling space will me yeah
I can tell myself its just a gift
But its never gonna get me out of this
Its just another place I shouldn't be
blame it all
Never seen that before
Blame it all
Things, the things you adore
So you blame it all on better days
Quick its busy now its yours now its pouring out our age
Blame it all on better days
I wanna quit rewards you know
There must be some redemtion
When I keep my self control
I wanna keep myself
I wanna keep myself
I wanna keep myself control
I didn't want to be the one who was everything you've ever had in mind
I might look a little bit like promising
I might look a little bit like anything
But I'm not what you're expecting to find
chorus
I wanna quit rewards you know
There must be some redemtion
When I keep my self control
I wanna keep myself control
I wanna keep myself control
The lyrics to Rockwell Church's song "Better Days" describe a struggle with self-control and living up to expectations. The singer admits that his intuition fails him, and he finds himself falling into old habits that he knows are not good for him. He is too proud to ask for help, and instead blames it all on "better days," an elusive notion that he cannot quite grasp. He yearns for redemption, to be able to keep his self-control and break out of the cycle of blame and disappointment.
The chorus repeats the phrase "blame it all on better days," indicating that the singer is trying to find some external source for the problems in his life. He acknowledges that he is filling a space in someone else's life but knows that he is not living up to their expectations. He tries to reassure himself that he is "just a gift" but knows that he is not what they are looking for.
The song is a poignant reflection on the struggles that many people face in trying to change their lives for the better. It highlights the difficulty of breaking out of old habits and patterns of behavior and the need for self-control and redemption. The lyrics are deeply personal and introspective, making them relatable to anyone who has ever struggled with similar issues.

Blaming all mistakes on better times, when everything seems different, is a common practice; we can easily get tired of what we once loved, and our life can be unpredictable, but we shouldn't blame everything on the past.
I wanna quit rewards
There must be some redemtion
When I keep my self-control
I want to stop chasing external validation or material success; I would like to find some relief through self-discipline and self-mastery.
I didn't want didn't want to be your pressure boy
In the end your only filling space will me yeah
I can tell myself its just a gift
But its never gonna get me out of this
Its just another place I shouldn't be
I was not willing to be your only support or source of satisfaction. You are using me to pass your time; I'm trying to convince myself that this is a gift, but I know it won't help me move on; it's just another wrong place to be.
I wanna keep my self-control
I wanna keep myself control
I wanna keep myself control
