Jack Red, the Chicago young gun who has worked with Chance The Rapper, Vic Mensa, Sir The Baptist, and Wyclef Jean, is here today with a track of his own called “Sometimes.” Red lent some vocals to Chance’s “Sunday Candy,” but there’s none of that same uber-positivity here. The track opens with some...
[Verse 1 Jack Red]
It's the day before my wedding
But it's you that's on my mind
Can't help how I feel
Who knows if it's real
Or just a waste of time
I thought I could forget you
Just erase you from my mind
Yeah I know I walked away
But, but now I'm running blind
Yeah I'm running blind
With these rockets on my shoes
And this salt all in my eyes
Tryna flush it with my tears
But my soul is bone dry
See tomorrow I get married
It won't be you at the altar
I guess it's not your problem
That sometimes I miss you
[Hook]
Sometimes I need you
Sometimes I feel you
I want you here with me
Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I need you
Sometimes I feel you
I want you here with me
Ohhh oohhh ohh
[Verse 2]
This ain't like what my parents said
Now I'm wondering what my parents did
Spent my whole life building this whole moment
It's like building a house just to find out that the blueprint was bogus
But I can't stop now
It's just the beginning
Dad said listen to your mind and heart
But always know the difference
Your mind can start the race
But your heart will go the distance
But always follow your heart
But only on the brain's conditions
Now I'm standing with this bottle and this bible
I know this thought will make it through the night
Because tomorrow I get married
No it won't be you at the altar
But somethings just heal with time
[Hook]
Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I need you
Sometimes I feel you
I want you here with me
Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I need you
Sometimes I feel you
I want you here with me
Ohhh oohhh ohh

“We aren’t perfect. We aren’t typical,” he said. “Being an artist and being a husband is something that a lot of people told me was impossible. But I feel it’s given me a platform to promote growth within myself and my marriage. Marriage is hard but when you find that person worth giving your all to...
