Somewhere Only We Know

by Ben Calvert

/
1.
I walked along an empty land, I knew the pathway like the back of my hand. I felt the earth beneath my feet, Walked by the river and it made me feel complete. Oh simple things where have you gone? I'm getting old oh I need someone to rely on. Oh tell me when you might let me back in. 'Cause I still love you, I've got so much love to give. I came across a broken tree, I felt the branches of it staring right through me. Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of? So if you have a minute why don't we go and talk about it, Somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything. So why don't we go somewhere only we know? Oh simple things where have you gone? I'm getting old oh I need someone to rely on. Oh tell me when you might let me back in? 'Cause I still love you, I've got so much love to give. So if you have a minute why don't we go and talk about it, Somewhere only we know? Please don't say that this is the end. So why don't we go somewhere only we know?

about

Here's my cover of the song Somewhere Only We Know. Keane's original had a stadium-filling sound. Lily Allen's cover for the John Lewis Christmas advert used minimal piano. This version is stripped down to just a finger-picked guitar and my voice.

This is the first guitar and vocal cover of this song ever released.

Taken from the forthcoming album 'The End of Everything.'
