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.
My Life
Family and Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more
The lyrics to Family and Friends' song "My Life" are poignant and meaningful, touching on the memories and emotions associated with those important people and places that have left an imprint on our hearts. The first verse talks about the importance of certain places in our lives, some of which may have changed or even disappeared, but which we still hold dear. The line "Some forever, not for better" suggests that not all of these places were necessarily good, but they still played an important role in our lives. The reference to lovers and friends also hints at the complex web of emotions and relationships that we develop throughout our lives.
The second verse shifts the focus to a particular person, who stands out among all the others. The love described is not just romantic, but encompasses all the different types of love and emotion that we experience in our lives. The line "And these memories lose their meaning/When I think of love as something new" suggests that while we may cherish our memories of the past, they pale in comparison to the love that we can experience in the present.
The final verse brings the song full circle, returning to the idea that while we may move forward and experience new things, we will never forget the people and places that have made us who we are. The repetition of the line "In my life, I'll love you more" emphasizes the timeless nature of love and its ability to endure even in the face of change and loss.
Overall, "My Life" is a powerful reminder of the importance of love, memory, and the people and places that shape us throughout our lives.
Line by Line Meaning
There are places I'll remember
I have fond memories of certain places
All my life, though some have changed
Throughout my life, some of these places have transformed
Some forever, not for better
Some places have not improved and remained the same
Some have gone and some remain
Some places I remember no longer exists, while others still do
All these places had their moments
Memories of significant moments are associated with every place
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
I have shared these memories with close friends and romantic partners
Some are dead and some are living
Some of the people I shared these moments with are no longer alive, while others still are
In my life, I've loved them all
Despite their absence or presence, I have cherished all the people and places in my life
But of all these friends and lovers
Out of everyone I have shared my life with
There is no one compares with you
You are incomparable to anyone else
And these memories lose their meaning
My memories of other people and places become less significant in comparison to you
When I think of love as something new
Because of you, my perception of love has changed and become new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
Even though my love for others will never disappear
For people and things that went before
For people and places that are no longer in my life
I know I'll often stop and think about them
I will continue to cherish these memories and reflect on them
In my life, I'll love you more
However, my love for you will always surpass all others
Though I know I'll never lose affection
Even though my love for others will never disappear
For people and things that went before
For people and places that are no longer in my life
I know I'll often stop and think about them
I will continue to cherish these memories and reflect on them
In my life, I'll love you more
However, my love for you will always surpass all others

LYRICS
Well I’ve been staring a hole in the sky,
I keep wasting my time wondering,
Of all the places I could be,
I am not,
Who I was, in the dreams,
We dare to dream when we are young,
One day, we wake up and we become,
Something different.
We are the sums of our decisions,
The fruit of our ambitions,
A grain of sand a drop in the ocean,
Oh, what a trying notion.
Lately these days I cant help but get this feeling I am sinking,
And the ground beneath my feet, I think, is starting to believe me,
I try to run but I don’t know how,
All my thoughts are made of doubt,
And the silence steals the words from my mouth,
I guess I have not been myself for some while now.
Oh my life, my love, can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
My heart is strong, but my will is wearing weary,
I’m leaving, come morning,
I said I’m leaving, come morning,
I’ll be gone.
It wont be long, till I belong.
Well I’ve been pacing this tile for a while now,
I keep wasting my time wondering,
Why some hearts beat harder,
And two can love in so many different ways,
Or you can love just one your whole life long,
When they don’t feel the same,
Love, I’m only asking,
If it’s funny then why aren't you laughing?
Love, I’m only asking,
Oh my life, my love, I am sorry,
I am sorry,
For the things I have said and I have done,
See, all my life I’ve hurt the ones,
See, all my life I’ve hurt the ones I love,
But it was not my intention.
And the wolves keep showing their teeth at me,
And the Holy Ghost is keeping close,
He says the love will come, but it won’t come easy.
And I can't help but think,
There must be something I am missing,
See when I lay my head to sleep, a voice inside keeps whispering,
He says, are you where you want to be?
Are you where you want to be?
Are you where you’re wanting now to go?
No?
Oh this heavy heart is missing you around,
It’s missing you around.
But I won't let it weigh me down.
Oh this heavy heart is missing you around,
It’s missing you around.
But I won't let it weigh me down.
And oh, this time is taking its time on me,
Its time on me.
See, when I lay my head to sleep, a voice inside keeps whispering,
He says are you where you want to be?
Are you where you want to be?
You see, the love will come, but it won’t come easy.
