At the heart of his appeal is a lyrical honesty and devotion to his fans seldom found in today's mainstream musical landscape. And his fans love him for it. As testament to this artist-fan connection, out of 1,700 artists entered in the SSL/Eventful/Tunecore "Lay It Down And Mix It Up In The UK" Contest, Gavin took first place, winning by a margin of over 13,000 votes and more than doubling the number of votes cast for the second place finisher. Having won, Gavin traveled to Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios to begin work on his new studio album (due for release in 2013). Like his previous offerings, the album is sure to please fans and critics alike, showcasing his poignant lyrics, true musicianship, and further setting him apart from other artists in the piano singer-songwriter genre. Talented, down-to-earth, and with songs that touch the soul, Gavin is truly one to watch in 2013.
Nevermind I'll Find Someone Like You
Gavin Mikhail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you found a guy,
That you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true,
Guess he gave you things I didn′t give to you.
Old friend why are you so shy?
It ain't like you to hold back
I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn′t fight it
I hope you see my face and be reminded
That for me, it isn′t over...
Nevermind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don′t forget me, I beg
I remember you said:
'Sometimes it lasts in love, and sometimes it hurts instead′ x2
You'll know how the time flies
And the yesterday was the time of our lives.
We were born and raised in a summery haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days.
I hate to turn up out to the blue and uninvited
But I couldn′t stay away, I couldn't fight it
I hope you see my face and be reminded
That for me, it isn't over...
Nevermind I′ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don′t forget me, I beg
I remember you said:
'Sometimes it lasts in love and sometimes it hurts instead′ x2
Nothing compares, no worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes that memories made
Who would have known how...
How bittersweet this would taste
Nevermind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don′t forget me, I beg
I remember you said:
'Sometimes it lasts in love and sometimes it hurts instead′
Nevermind I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said:
′Sometimes it lasts in love and sometimes it hurts instead′x2
