about

This was the last song I wrote for the record. I have never really touched on death in my songs and I don’t think I was planning on doing in this song either but it ended up coming out so I went with it. I lost both my grandparents within a few years of each other and when my grandad died it was the first time I was really taken back by death. He was the one I felt
closest with out of all my grandparents and naturally it was the one that hit me the most. I never wrote anything about the experience and then when I started to write this song it made me think of what happens when we lose important family members. The memories that tie us to our hometowns can be disrupted by losing someone that played a role in that time in our lives and I wanted to create a song that remembered a person both in the past and in the present, now that they’re gone and what that means for those old memories

lyrics

I was in the air
Called me when you found it
Pulling out your hair
It fell down around you

Colder now, in the summer
Harder now you’re not around

Couldn’t find the nerve
To tell you how I’m feeling
Saw you laying there
Staring at the ceiling

Older now, in a sun room
Wishing that you were still around
Folded up in your own head
Waiting here for you to make a sound

I was in the air
Called me when you found it
Age doesn’t seem to care
You felt so astounded

Colder now, by the lake home
Time just seemed to take its toll
Wondering how you felt then
Wondering how to hear your soul

And oh, there it is
Your gone in the evening
