For the Sender Show – “I would never leave you, even in your pain you are never alone”

Hey fans! The two shows for the For the Sender project happened just last night and we’ve got a few updates for you! Bookmark this page, as we’ll be adding more photos, videos and stories as they get sent in, but for now, enjoy these highlights!

We hear the musicians played all 12 songs from the record, and judging by the Twitter feedback, it was quite a night of music. We’re going to start this recap with a few videos… we’re still waiting for more to come in, but for now, we have videos of both of Jon’s songs – “Never Alone” and “Unbroken”, as well as Sean and Sara’s fanastic performance of “For The Sender”. Watch them below, and check back later – we’ll have MP3s for you!

Never Alone:

Lyrics:

we watched the western sky
falling like a landslide
we saw the half-light disappear
i know how it hurts inside
to watch the dead leaves dry
on your own year after year

but i would never leave you
i would never leave you
even in your pain
you are never alone
you are never alone

we walk the streets tonight
lost in the tears we cried
for these dead and dying years
i can feel you heart beat running
i know we’re not home yet honey
but let your hope out with your fears

because i would never leave you
i would never leave you
even in your pain
you are never alone

can you hear my heart beat
can you hear my heart beat
can you hear my heart beat
can you hear my heart beat
keep it running
can you hear my heart beat keep running
can you hear my heart beat keep running
can you hear my heart beat

i would never leave you
i would never leave you
even in your pain
you are never alone
i would never leave you
i would never leave you
even in your pain
you are never alone
you are never alone
you are never alone

Unbroken:

Lyrics:

out on the margins of town
i been stuck hanging round
these amateur clowns
wondering where were you
the only song we knew
was our amateur blues

if you believed why’d you leave me
if you believed why’d you leave me
even after sticks and stones were spoken
i’m alive
i’m alive
and I’m unbroken
i’m unbroken

i been abused and misled
i been stuck in my head
unsung and unsaid
been on needles and thread
i been left for dead
but i’m living instead

if you believed why’d you leave me
if you believed why’d you leave me
even after sticks and stones were spoken
i’m alive
i’m alive
and i’m unbroken
i’m unbroken

give me a song to sing
something to balance out
the fits and starts
that life can bring
i’m waiting
give me a song to sing
a decent melody
because i’m alone and i’m nineteen
and I feel like the world
is trying to swallow me whole
like it’s trying to swallow me whole

if you believed why’d you leave me
if you believed why’d you leave me
even after our sticks and stones were spoken
i’m alive
i’m alive
and i’m unbroken
yeah i’m unbroken
i’m unbroken
i’m alive
and i’m unbroken
