We, So Tired of All the Darkness in Our Lives is the seventh studio album by English musician Leyland Kirby, released on 28 September 2017.
We, So Tired of All the Darkness in Our Lives contrasts from the Caretaker's work in that it is more positive; aspects such as drums mimicking a sound of marching are present.
[4] The Caretaker's breakthrough album, An Empty Bliss Beyond This World gained attention from music critics; it would later inspire Kirby to create Everywhere.
The record has a melancholic style that contrasts from its track titles, such as "Rotten rave tropes", "Clickbait", and "Sickly strawberry nostalgia".
Negative track titles such as "Momentum is not on our side", which Fact's critic Miles Bowe called poetic, contrast with other, more positive ones, such as "Back in the game".

[9] Bowe felt the record offered a more positive side to Kirby's music, in contrast to the aggressive sound of the Caretaker alias.
The musician wrote he does not produce music to "push cans of energy drink or to look for cheap clicks on playlists or to get involved in scenes."
"[8] Critic Miles Bowe chose the album for the accolade "Bandcamp Release Of The Month" in September 2017 due to being "a glimmer of light in the middle of his bleak series and an even bleaker world around us."
