[LYRICS]
Robbie was a drummer
In a rock band
Robbie had problems
He felt nobody could understand
Robbie was a smart kid
Well, I’m not truly sure
But my mother says he was
So I guess I believe her
He left these old vinyls in my house
Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead
But mom never played a single one
I asked her why and she said
That they were her brother’s records once
And they had painful stories from long ago
So my uncle’s old stuff sits on the shelf
With a history that nobody can know
Grandma told stories
About Robbie
How he played his drums so loud
And wake the house at 3 am
Mom put his picture
Right next to one of me
She said there’s some resemblanceBut I guess I couldn’t see
Maybe there was something even then
And my mother just knew
That it was the music in our hearts
That connected us two
Maybe just the twinkle in his eye
Had projected onto me
But I was proud that I had shared something
With Robbie
Well, mom said that Robbie was never really happy
He always seemed to run with the wrong crowd
Mom sort of always blamed it on her parents
Even though she never dared to say it out loud
January 21st
1980
My mother got a telephone call
She always knew that there was something wrong
But she didn’t see that coming at all
And now I’m getting older
Man, this time of year’s the worst
My birthday’s a few days away
It’s January 21st
Mom never made a deal of it
She always tried to make me see
That even though Robbie was gone
Well, now she had me
He left his old vinyls in my house
I try to play one every year
To remember the days gone by
From when Robbie was here
i would die for you
Alex and George both sound amazing!

*can only assume I'll listen to this in the right order lmao*
This is my favorite song ever! Well this song and Michael in the bathroom
HEAR A DRUNK GIRL SINGIN ALONG TO WHITNEY OUT SIDE THE DOOR *OH I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY*
First song, already sad
This song made me cry.
Fudge it I'm still crying 😢
Notice how there's no drums
PLOT TWIST: Alexander is Zoe's son, and Robbie is Connor!
Dude, that's awesome
Hell yes
I just found thid is so im ready to be confused
Me too
does anyone have an instrumental of this song
This song is legit beautiful- but what actually happened to Robbie? Like how did he die?
