The band began as a lowly seedling of inspiration. “Good music, good people.” One became six, a collective of musicians by trade, lovers by spirit. Inspired by a life worth living, the Fam and Pals remained rooted with three ambitions in heart, mind, and soul: the people, the music, the memories. The reflection represented by blend of earnest folk rock and a communal spirit pouring a collective heart into something bigger than itself.

Family and Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when the game is over not everybody pays
Some play the game to lose, some play the game to win
The winners walk out laughing, the losers cry, deal again
Lately you and I have played the game
Now there's no feeling left except for the pain
Finally comes the time to fall apart
Oh you've been holding on to holding on
But we can't leave not well enough alone any longer
We're not making love, we're keeping score
It's a simple matter, it don't matter anymore
'Cause love is just a game that everybody plays
And when the game is over not everybody pays
Some play the game to lose some play the game to win
The winners walk out laughing, the losers cry, deal again
Deal again
Deal again
Deal again
Deal again
The song Love by Family and Friends contains lyrics that convey the message of how love can be a game. The first two lines of the song explicitly say that love is a game that everyone participates in, but not everyone has to pay to play. People play this game either to win or to lose, and when it is time for the game to end, the winners walk out laughing, while the losers cry and deal again. The lyrics express the idea that sometimes people lose sight of the game's objective and end up getting hurt because they invest too much of themselves into it.
The second verse is about two people who have been playing the game of love but have now come to the point where the game has ended. There is no longer any love, and all that is left behind is the pain. They attempt to hold on to what is no longer there, but they realize that they cannot continue holding on. They are not making love, they are merely keeping the score, and it doesn't matter anymore.
The chorus of the song repeats the message of the first two lines, saying that love is just a game that everyone plays. The song ends with the phrase "Deal again" repeated four times, which means that the players are ready to deal cards again and start another round of the game of love.
