The Canyon’s central theme is Bert’s loss of his close childhood friend Tregen Lewis to suicide in 2016. The album opens with this haunting acoustic track in which Bert longs for just five more minutes with Tregen. However, in not having that, Bert dedicates every song he has ever sung to Tregen’s m...
[Intro: Bert (Producer Ross Robinson)]
To immortality almost, we wanted to write a song. It was like if I had five minutes to hold Tregen's hand, and if he had five minutes to hold his dad's hand, what would it be? What could we possibly say in those (what would you say?) moments?
I think I caught it in the chorus. I would say, "All I want to say to you is that your love never leaves me alone, and now you're right here. Hold my hand. Every single song I ever sing is for you."
It feels so good. This is as close as I'll get you know? He is right here
(Let's do it. He's right here too.)
Love you, bro
Love you too
(Ready? Alright.)
----------------------------------------------
[Verse 1]
First I was afraid of you
I knew you were afraid of me too
I did not know what to say
I saw your eyes closed and I knew
Though worlds apart your love it keeps the distance quite imaginary
[Chorus]
All I want to say to you
Is that your love never leaves me alone
And now you’re right here; hold my hand;
Every single song I ever sing is for you
Is for you
Is for you
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh)
[Verse 2]
While I have your ear I need you to know
And though it sounds cliché
You made me the man that I am today
It would be more than disrespectful if I did not sing it loud
[Chorus]
All I want to say to you
Is that your love never leaves me alone
And now you’re right here; hold my hand;
Every single song I ever sing is for you
Is for you
Is for you
[Verse 3]
Breathe
You’re keeping me worn
Like a squire
The quiet war
Suspicious acoustics
Leave cored empty spaces
Tracing my love escaped mercy’s said blessings to carnage; to taste it: a chance just to take it in
[Bridge]
All of it
All of it
All of it
Just so many words
[Chorus]
All I want to say to you
Is that your love never leaves me alone
And now you’re right here; hold my hand;
Every song I ever sing is for you
Is for you
Is for you
And now you’re right here; hold my hand;
Every single song I ever sing is for you
Is for you
It's for you
For You was written by Bert McCracken.
For You was produced by Ross Robinson.
I wanted to open the song with [the idea of] getting to spend five more minutes with someone I’ll never see again. Before Ross recorded vocals every night there would be a huge therapeutic session. Psycho-surgery. We went deeper than I ever wanted to go. That’s what you hear. You get the ghost right...
