There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

This is about losing my late brother, thinking about our childhood and how weird death is. #lyricsonly

Lyrics

This Can’t Be Real

Verse 1 Floating back to our Wooded childhood street I see our house Our old willow tree It’s in plain view But I don’t see you

As I go inside To the living room I float through walls The electric moon Brightens everything But I don’t see you

Chorus 1 This can’t be real So what is the deal? You’ve gone away? But I’m doomed to stay? This can’t be real

Verse 2 Our old radio Played our favourite songs Can’t turn it on There’s clearly something wrong All your stuff is here But I don’t see you

Chorus 2 This can’t be real So what is the deal? You’ve gone away? But I’m doomed to stay? This can’t be real

Bridge All the past So far away Like a frozen dream In a gilded frame

Chorus 3 This can’t be real So what is the deal? You’ve gone away? But I’m doomed to stay? This can’t be real

Would you like a collab for music? I have a tune in my head, reading your lyrics. (Also, I'm so sorry for your loss. Hugs, if you're okay with that.)

Hi @dr_griff For sure, yes please go ahead with the tune! Thank you so much for asking. I can hardly wait to hear how it sounds :) (And thank you so much re my late brother...I appreciate your kind words).

@dr_griff 3d

Done! Can't wait to hear your response to it.

@smudge 3d

Thank you so much @dr_griff! It sounds so lovely!! I cant believe how fast you did it! Blown away. You brought it to life! Cheers, Smudge

@dr_griff 2d

I'll be honest, I didn't want to lose the tune, so I made the recording before I went to bed. When I saw your response, it was easy to get it uploaded quickly for you! :)

@smudge 2d

Wow cool! SO interesting to hear about your process! Well done and so fast! :) Pleasure collabing with you!
