about

When you meet someone, new or acquainted, it’s only natural to talk about what you’re doing and EXCITEDLY working on at the moment. But what if you’ve come to a place where you look back, and realise that you could have lead an entirely different life? If you hadn’t most of it just happen by itself, out of circumstances and simple chance, but had made more conscious decisions for yourself? They say, it’s never too late, but there are actually things that pass on that you can’t revert to.
Someone I Know is a pop song, and the prismatic story of an old man that I met, someone I actually don’t really know. And at the same time a story about me, realising very late what my music means to me, understanding I could have made some commitments much earlier in life. It’s echoing loneliness and nervy regret, and at the same time sparkling an unravelling quiet euphoria of letting go – maybe it’s never too late, in one form or another.
This song is the fifth single off my debut album Why Does Everybody Look Like Someone I Know. I always felt this song has a special place for me, that’s why I ultimately decided to release it as a more condensed and in parts refined new version, just over a year after the first single that announced the album.

lyrics

Buddy, old friend
Let me join your conversation
With the ebb and tide
And oddities of life
Laying it out
You retrace a constellation
If you had a choice
Had a hand for you to fight

So much time
And you’re out of inspiration
You’re shrugging mildly
As you scrawl between the lines
What is the sense
In reaching a destination
If you don’t have a say
What the ride is all about

Are you letting go (oh-hoh)
Of someone you know (how so)
World in your hands
But it wasn’t much fun
Whispers and all
There’s a man on the run

I’m lying dormant in this place
While everybody goes to town
I’ll be casting off its pace
And if I’d show I’ll be around
When the TV flares at night
Spots of sorrow stir my eyes
A bale of thought runs through my mind
All the time

Home from a day
You would lean against your window
Sun in your eyes
Yet you’re feeling out of line
Tell me about it:
Do you hide out in the echoes?
Then another morning
Still recurring by design

Are you letting go (oh-hoh)
Of someone you know (how so)
World your hands
But it could have been fun
Whiskers and all
There’s a cat on the run

I’m lying dormant in this place
While everybody goes to town
I’ll be casting off its pace
And if I’d show I’ll be around
When the TV flares at night
Spots of sorrow stir my eyes
A bale of thought runs through my mind
All the time

When the TV flares at night
Spots of sorrow stir my eyes
A bale of thought runs through my mind
All the time

All the time
All the time
All the time
All the time
