The Problem With April
Of Montreal · Horse & Elephant Eatery (No Elephants Allowed) [2000]
is the problem with June and July
it's the problem with all of the months
since you said goodbye
The problem with Monday is the problem with Tuesday
is the problem with Wednesday and Thursday
it's the problem with all the week
since you went away
The bills keep piling up
and my bed gets bigger and bigger
I feel like I'm being watched
and I'm forever under the weather
The problem with Summer is the problem with Fall
is the problem with Winter and Spring
it's the problem with all of the year
since you're no longer here
The problem with evening is the problem with morning
is the problem with the afternoon
the problem of all of the day
since you went away
The Problem With April - Of Montreal

Released on their 2000 album *Horse & Elephant Eatery (No Elephants Allowed) [2000]*, the track showcases the group's signature use of distorted guitars, driving rhythms, and melodic vocals that often lean into theatrical or narrative storytelling. The song reflects the band's early 2000s era, where they balanced catchy hooks with a darker, more experimental edge characteristic of their discography. As part of their broader catalog, this recording exemplifies their ability to create atmospheric soundscapes that have influenced countless indie acts, cementing their reputation as pioneers of the genre.
