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.

C'pas 'a mer à boire
Rien à voir, rien, nothing
Mon train-train quotidien, mon pocket change money
Rock le même jogging like nobody can judge me
I'm so me, trop, maybe, qui veut get some
Shoot dans l'tas, j'vise personne
Wanna peace?
Viens baby, on va ride
Le D est so so, mais le lit est confortable
J'chill au dojo
J'skip vos convocations
Tranquille en solo, j'me sens comme à El Paso
No joke tho, j'cache un dough dans mes caleçons
Pis p't-être un p'tit quequ'chose pour une autre génération, nwigga yeah
(Yeah, ha ha ha! j'cache un p'tit dough pour les futurs Brown babys, you know)
Yeah, pas un criss qui peut m’juger à part ma maman
À part mon mo’fucking father, work fort pour la famille
Pour mes femmes, pour mes hommes, pour la forme
Pour le fond, pour le fame
Feu d’forêt, c’pas une forêt, c’est un homme
Fête foraine, j’suis un freak!
Yeah nwigga, c’est un free for all dans ma faune
Yeah, y a l’feu dans un fat blunt, fais un fucking marathon
Fais tourner la fucking ville autour de moi fucking vite
J’vas jusqu’à Fuckville, sont là qu’y font la file pour moi!
Sont prêts à feel pour moi, c’est quoi c’vie-là?
My life, my life, my life, my life
I've been through lonely nights, rough and tough days
But through it all, I'm standing tall, I'm so brave
I know I've walked through the valley of the shadow of death
I know that Jah won’t let me, won’t let me worry na fret...
C'est juste moi et some demons
A couple Sleeman
Absolument rien dans mes DM
Vis à cent à l'heure, brûle le chandelier, carpe diem
Un million d'bars pis j'sais même pu à quoi ça rimait
Chaud et froid, un peu comme ce pays-là
Mon ti-côté européen et mon ti-côté antillais
Pierre, Jean, Jacques
Une histoire un peu sans histoire
Ma guitare dit à la prochaine
On chante du Manu Chao
Salutations, rien à déclarer, I'm sorry
Juste une autre soirée qu'tu verras pas dans tes stories
Juste une autre vie qu'tu verras pas dans les films
My life, my life, my life, my life
The lyrics of Family and Friends' "My Life My Love" explore the idea of feeling lost and disillusioned in a society that lacks genuine connections and purposeful work. The singer admits to being tired of feeling weak and lacking discipline, questioning the point of labor that often leads to unfulfilled expectations. The future that they once envisioned is different from what they now perceive it to be, leading to a sense of skepticism and an inability to trust. The monotony of life is prolonged by smoking or other harmful habits, but the singer is left wondering if this is their only coping mechanism.
The lines "I handle monotony by lengthening my days" and "Sure I know my neighbor, man at least I know his name / And with all these busy schedules being a friend just ain't the same" highlight the importance of deeper connections and meaningful interactions in a world where people live in close quarters but still feel isolated. The fear of losing one's job and the ambivalent feeling of wanting it to happen to escape the dull routine encapsulate the precariousness of modern employment and how it can often become more of a burden than a source of fulfillment.
Overall, the lyrics of "My Life My Love" paint an honest and relatable picture of the struggles and paradoxes of being human in a fast-paced, individualistic world where genuine connections and purposeful work are often hard to come by.
Line by Line Meaning
God I am so tired
Expressing exhaustion and weariness towards life and its various difficulties
So tired of being weak
Feeling inadequate due to a lack of strength or ability to deal with tough situations
I have neither strength to stand nor discipline to sleep
Having trouble with both physical and mental strength, leading to fatigue and insomnia
I question my labor when I strain my back in vain
Feeling hopeless when hard work doesn't yield desired results
And I realize that the future and what I think just ain't the same
Being uncertain about the future and realizing that it may not align with one's thoughts or plans
Lord who would really blame me if I smoke my life away
Feeling hopeless and wanting to escape reality by engaging in unhealthy habits such as smoking
I handle monotony by lengthening my days
Coping with boredom and routine by finding ways to stretch out time
A skeptic of intention
Doubting other people's motives and intentions
For who is there to trust
Questioning the trustworthiness of others in general
Even nature soon would carry all of us back to the dust
Acknowledging the fleeting and temporary nature of life and mortality
Sure I know my neighbor
Being familiar with one's neighbors and recognizing them by name
Man at least I know his name
Finding some comfort in the small amount of knowledge one has about their surroundings
And with all these busy schedules being a friend just ain't the same
Struggling to maintain friendships or even casual connections due to the pressure of busy schedules and limited time
Well they tell me if work gets slow I'll be the first to go
Feeling insecure about job stability and fearing potential job loss
Some days I get worried man
Experiencing anxiety about the future and what it may hold
Some days I hope so
Feeling conflicted about the prospect of losing one's job and the potential for new opportunities

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.
