Familiar Faces

Story Behind The Song

Episodes of serious mental ill health have required me to wear 'familiar faces' so often.

Song Description

So many people 'perform' their lives on a daily basis. Many hide pain, anger and fear behind faces that smile. Sadly it can be the only way to survive and to gain some form of self respect. A sense of community, love, respect and consideration for others

Song Length 4:37 Genre Folk - Contemporary, Folk - Contemporary
Tempo Slow (71 - 90) Lead Vocal Male Vocal

Lyrics

FAMILIAR FACES

Seen in so many places, wearing familiar faces
Playing the part they want you to know
Fools, do they really want to
And do they really have to be the star of their travelling show
It looks like, it feels like, it seems like all they know


But who are they when no one?s watching
After the curtains have come down
The lights have gone out and no one?s listening
In silence, who are they now



Start of another day, ah come what may
The curtains open the lights go on
Think about the places, wear your familiar faces
Dance the dance - sing the song
What does it look like, feel like


But who are you now when no one?s watching
After the curtains have come down
The lights have gone out and no one?s listening
In silence, who are you now
The lights have gone out and no one?s listening
In silence, who are you now
