I was inspired to record this after hearing this song in the penultimate episode of season 1 of the show After Life. Thank you, Ricky Gervais.

lyrics

Verse 1

Among the living you'll find the dying
Waiting softly to pass on
Why can't a love be like a spirit
As it floats up to the sky

With the giving there is taking
Neither one feels like it's right
And since your heart can't tell the difference
You give up without a fight

Chorus

Because you know it makes you cry
'Cause you can see what's passed you by
Because you feel you can't decide
Among the living

Verse

Instead of headstrong into darkness
We should be drifting into light
It's been a long time we've been searching
And we still can't get it right

Chorus

Because you know it makes you cry
'Cause you can see what's passed you by
Because you feel you can't decide

Bridge

Among the living, breathing painted shells
Crumbling as they fall

Chorus

Because you know it makes you cry
'Cause you can see what's passed you by
Because you feel you can't decide

about

David Woodard Nashville, Tennessee

David Woodard returns with GET IT GOOD, a full-length effort full of his trademark sugar-sweet melodies and harmonies. There is much more here than throwbacks to the Liverpool’s favorite sons. David influences are often on his sleeve as overtones of Fountains of Wayne, Cheap Trick, Big Star, The Rolling Stones, and even boygenius trickle from your speakers like familiar friends. ... more
