about

I sometimes forget how emotional a ride this one is for me. I talk about my grandparents in particular in this song. I carry around some guilt for not doing more to be closer to them in their later years (particularly Grandma, who was in a nursing home at the end)... And lyrically, this one's kind of challenging to get through as a result. It turns out that feeling increases with time...learned that doing this album.

lyrics

My grandmother used to speak to me
back when she still had her thoughts.
And sometimes she'd sing to me
from the 1930s charts.
And Grandpa used to play for me
songs on his old guitar.
And now I've grown into a voice of my own
and this worthless bleeding heart.

Do you still remember me?

I've got a family filled with music.
A family filled with poems.
A family that would do anything
to protect one of our own.
And if they've taught me anything,
it's that some dreams are still worth dreaming...
...to sing for the joy of singing...
...to scream for the joy of screaming...

Do you still remember me?

And are you still proud of me?
Have you been there with me through everything?

Do you still remember me?
