Here’s what James Vincent McMorrow shared on his socials about Gone:
It’s a song about disintegration, about belligerence, about refusal to change even when change is the only thing. I wrote it as the start of a conversation with myself, but when you hear it, it’s whatever it means to you.
[Verse 1]
Smoke hangs low like rain
Tears fall down like snow
Maybe it's the way you cry
Maybe that's what makes me so cold
Some people they say
Cut my heart out so
Wouldn't have to waste my time
Feeling an emotion
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess you don't mind how we used to
Argue all night 'til the sun moved
I give less fucks than I used to
Still give a lot of fucks
If we're both bad, I could ruin you
Set you on fire as I come through
I do less drugs than I used to
Still do a lot
[Chorus]
Don't get personal
'Cause you know it
That you'll miss me when I'm gone
Don't get comfortablе
Just keep forgiving every second thеn I'm gone
[Post-Chorus]
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
[Verse 2]
I won't ever change
This won't make me slow
Couldn't even if I tried
That would be too easy
Some people they wait
Some people they just
Never want to waste their time
Feeling an emotion
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess you don't mind how we used to
Argue all night 'til the sun moved
I give less fucks than I used to
Still give a lot of fucks
If we're both bad, I could ruin you
Set you on fire as I come through
I do less drugs than I used to
Still do a lot
[Chorus]
Don't get personal
'Cause you know it
That you'll miss me when I'm gone
Don't get comfortable
Just keep forgiving every second then I'm gone
[Post-Chorus]
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
[Outro]
(You're gonna miss me when I'm)
Away, away, away
(You're gonna miss me when I'm)
Away, away, away
(You're gonna miss me when I'm)
Away, away, away
(You're gonna miss me when I'm)
Away, away, away
Gone was written by James Vincent McMorrow & Henry Durham.
Gone was produced by James Vincent McMorrow & Moon Willis & Paul Epworth.
James Vincent McMorrow released Gone on Mon Nov 02 2020.
A November 2020 Broadway World article quotes James saying:
‘Gone’ is about the disintegration of relationships. In my case, the disintegration of my relationship with myself. No song or lyric I’ve ever written has come as close to this one at capturing how I feel about life, how I hear it, my fear...
This was basically the starting point of the album. Once I had “Gone”, we all knew I was doing that something that felt right, but different. I wrote it in 20 minutes and the lyrics never changed after that first day. Initially, it was supposed to go to someone else, but I just kept finding reasons...
