Watch the official music video for Sam’s song “The World: Alone”
“I wanted to keep the atmosphere longing and spacey for this song. It has a mystic feel in its core. The lyrics ended up being as clairvoyant as they could be, but I just let the words fall to the paper. My co-writer and I wanted to keep the chorus simple and emotional, and drive home the message that the biggest dream in our heart has been taken.. but it’s better to have loved and lost than to not have loved at all.” - Sam
Lyrics:
In the summer time
I've never felt this way
I can feel my mind drifting astray
Sitting on the beach in Barcelona alone
You’re probably somewhere sitting
With those thoughts of yours
Painting pictures of a tall closed door
Would it really be so wrong to come and meet me in Rome
Cause I was gonna, yeah I was gonna show you the world
There’s so much for us to see
It was supposed to be you and me
But we got this disharmony
But now I gotta go it alone
And i don’t know what i’m gonna do
I was gonna show you the world
Now who’m I supposed to show it to?
I’m in Amsterdam at this coffee shop
Chose the finest one on the whole damn block
Serotonin moving slow
Cause I’m traveling solo
And all the tourists are taking photographs
Of the architecture from the past
And I’m just sitting here stoned
Staring at your photo
Yeah I was gonna, I was gonna show you the world
There’s so much for us to see
It was supposed to be you and me
But we got this disharmony
But now I gotta go it alone
And i don’t know what i’m gonna do
I was gonna show you the world
Now who’m I supposed to show it to?
I could share my heart
With the nearest girl
See if she’s got a need
To see this world
I know that that won’t do me right
No
Cause I was gonna, I was gonna show you the world
There’s so much for us to see
It was supposed to be you and me
But we got this disharmony
And now I gotta go it alone
And i don’t know what i’m gonna do
Cause I was gonna show you the world
Ohh
Yeah i was gonna show you the world
Baby i just wanna show you the world
Now who’m I supposed to show it to?
