about

2020 saw us lose Eddie Van Halen, Neil Peart, and Adam Schlesinger; three of our favourite musicians, biggest inspirations, and the absolute best to ever do what they did. So we decided to channel the inspiration they gave us over the years and record a tribute to them.

Maybe they're somewhere in the afterlife still doing the things they did that gave us so much joy in this life.

lyrics

You, doin' that thing you do
Breaking my heart into
A million pieces
Like you always do

And you don't mean to be cruel
But you never even knew
About the heartache
That I've been going through

Well I try and try to forget you, girl
But it's just so hard to do
Every time you do that thing you do

I know all the games you play
And I'm going to find a way
To let you know that
You'll be mine someday

Cos' we could be happy can't you see
If you'd only let me be
The one to hold you
And keep you here with me

Cos' I try and try to forget you, love
But it's just so hard to do
Every time you do that thing you do

I don't ask a lot, girl
But I know one thing's for sure
There's a love I haven't got, girl
And I just can't take it anymore

Cos we could be happy can't you see
If you'd only let me be
The one to hold you
And keep you here with me

Cos it hurts me so just to see you go
Around with someone new
And if I know you you're doing that thing
Every day just doing that thing
I can't take you doin' that thing you do
