about

This is a song about grief. Not just the grief we felt as humans in a pandemic, but the grief we feel in losing loved ones, watching the anger and hate in the world, seeing the natural world further destroyed, watching time disappear.

This is something we all experience one way or another. It's rough. But we can get through it, often together.

I dedicate this song to artist and much loved friend Jonathan Hills, who passed away 2 days after it's completion in July.

lyrics

Hot rain on the window pane
We were lost when summer came
No-one left to blame
Except for each other
We were scared so we stayed inside
Locked inside our messy minds
Looking for a place to hide
Only to discover

The only places left to go
Are the ones we've seen before

Days gone by
And time stands still
All I know
Is I'm still here

Remember the days we skipped to school
Back when it was cool to break the rules
Now there's someone who needs you
To wear the shoes of another
And I'm sorry I'm not there with you
I'm sorry for the days turned blue
Dreaming of those dazy afternoons
The cradle of a lover

Instead you're waking up noon
Tired of feeling like there's nothing left to do

Days gone by
And time stands still
All I know
Is I'm still here

You said goodbye to your friends today
The ones who cartwheeled with you in the pouring rain
And I heard your hero passed away
He was old, he was young, he had so much left to say

Come tomorrow, no more fear
All this sorrow, yes I'm still here
Days gone by
Time stands still
All I know
Is I'm still here
All I know
Is I'm still here
All I know
Is I'm still here
