Some songs are written to climb the charts.
This one was written to trip over its own shoelaces — and look good doing it.
“Almost Awesome” is the kind of track that lives in the middle lane. It’s part pep talk, part eye roll, and fully committed to being halfway there. Inspired by air guitars, near-wins, and the art of barely keeping it together, this is our official CognitiveShift soundtrack for anyone who’s rocking life in their own gloriously imperfect way.
🔥 What’s It About?
It’s about that fine line between swagger and faceplant.
The kind of cool that comes with crooked sunglasses and a questionable belt choice.
The moments when you’re not the main character — but you are the oddly compelling one people remember.
In short: you might not be a rockstar, but you’re absolutely rock-adjacent.
🎶 Listen For:
- Verses that lovingly roast your best efforts
- A chorus that celebrates mediocrity like it’s headlining Coachella
- References to cult movies, closet crises, and spontaneous curb-tripping
📼 Why We Made It
At CognitiveShift, we believe in being intentionally average — on our own terms. This song started as a joke. Then a jingle. Then somehow… a whole mood. It's a wink and a hug to every person who's trying, flailing, laughing, and showing up anyway.
Because honestly? The world doesn’t need more perfection.
It needs more people giving it seventy percent with style.
👕 Wear the Vibe
This song pairs perfectly with our “Almost Awesome” tee — a retro rainbow of low-stakes ambition and cozy defiance. Whether you're strutting into brunch 20 minutes late or silently crushing it behind the scenes, this shirt lets people know you’re doing just fine, thanks.
and Never Miss a New Release!
