New Song: We Keep Singing

Jul 1, 2024

To not be alone is probably one of the most important needs of any human being. Loneliness is like a filter that takes all the colors out of life and just leaves behind a monochrome and dull world for you to inhabit.

I wrote this song as a goodbye for my loved ones when I was incredibly sick a few years ago and I was not sure if I would be able to recover. And even though the topic of the song is quite sad, I deliberately chose it to be happy and uplifting, a celebration of the life that we had together so far.

Yoyo Mtt.

“I am not alone, as you stand next to me with your hand in my own…”

We Keep Singing

I’am not alone,
As we sing in the microphone,
I’am not alone,
As we sing in the microphone.

About people we met in all different places,
All of our memories, all of their faces,
Stories we’ve told and friendships we’ve grown,
Laughter we shared and the hardships we’ve known.

I am not alone,
As you stand next to me with your hand in my own,
I am not alone,
Even Though you are staying and I must move on,
I am not alone,
As I follow your face to the end of our song,
I am not alone,
As you stand next to me with your hand in my own.

I’am not alone,
As we sing in the microphone,
I’am not alone,
As we sing in the microphone.

About all the adventures we had with each other,
Foreign countries and sights we’ve discovered,
All the exotic places we’ve been,
All the amazing things we’ve seen,
And I follow your voice I can’t pretend it,
I wish our story just had never ended.

We keep singing, we keep singing,
We keep singing, we keep singing.

And now that I know that I cannot go on,
And that soon my voice will also be gone,
I want you to know that our song will live on,
And I want you to know that I’m not alone,
As you stand next to me with your hand in my own.

As you stand next to me with your hand in my own,
As you stand next to me with your hand in my own.

And I want you to know that I’ll miss you so much,
That I gave it my all, it was still not enough,
And it’s breaking my heart to leave on my own,
It’s breaking my heart but I won’t be alone,
Cause when I will soon be gone,
Our life will be past but our song will life on,
This beautiful song that we shared with each other,
This beautiful life that we both had together,
And I follow your voice, I follow our song,
Here at the end I want you to know,
Though I leave on my own, I’m not alone,
As you stand next to me with your hand in my own.

We keep singing, we keep singing,
We keep singing, we keep singing,
And I want you to know here at the end,
That our song will live on that our song will not end,
And I want you to know here at the end,
That our song will live on as you’re holding my hand.

I am not alone,
As you stand next to me with your hand in my own,
I am not alone,
As you stand next to me with your hand in my own.

And I want you to know here at the end,
That our song will live on that our song will not end,
I am not alone,
And I want you to know here at the end,
That our song will live on as you’re holding my hand,
And I want you to know here at the end,
That our song will live on that our song will not end,
And I want you to know here at the end,
That our song will live on as you’re holding my hand.
