Chlorine (Trophy Eyes Piano Cover)

about

We recorded a piano & vocal arrangement of our favourite Trophy Eyes song for What We Did On The Weekend's upcoming vinyl covers compilation, raising money for Beyond Blue (out this November).

But in honour of sharing the stage with Trophy Eyes at UNIFY Gathering this weekend (where they'll be playing 2016's 'Chemical Miracle' LP in full!) we've decided to drop it early ๐Ÿ’™

'Chlorine' is a beautiful and devastating song, seeing vocalist John Floreani muse on the paradox of human life after finding out a little boy who'd once saved him from drowning had, years later, taken his own life.

With our version we hoped to bring those heartbreaking, powerful lyrics to the fore ๐Ÿ’™

Only available on YouTube & BandCamp - all profits to BeyondBlue

lyrics

I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing
Water ran from my body
Crystal clear, chlorinated and sky blue
As the icy cold brought life back to my feet
Every breath in was something I owed you
I heard they cut you down in your own bedroom
I wondered if you'd still remembered
When we remember
We only get a version of the last time we remember it
And as time rolls on like it always does
Though it might be a little different, I won't forget
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
Tell me why I didn't die in that swimming pool?
When you saved my life, did you know that would take your own?
Who decides if we stay or if we go?
Did it cross your mind that I'm alive because of you?
I heard they cut you down in your own bedroom
I wonder if you'd still remembered
You gave it all away for a girl
You didn't fix it, you just ended it
I heard they cut you down in your own bedroom
I wonder if you'd still remembered
You gave it all away for a girl
You didn't fix it, you just ended it
When we remember
We only get a version of
The last time we remember it
And as time rolls on like it always does
Though it might be a little different
I won't forget
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
Just two kids
When you pulled me out
We never really spoke
But I still saw you around
Friends of friends
What does that mean to you now?
I heard everybody came
When they put you in the ground
