about

This is a song I wrote for my brother Robbie Cooper who died from a rare form of cancer in April 2014. Love you always brother.

Here is the link for the music video (please share): www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlX561F5tMY&feature=youtu.be

In order to help others suffering from this horrible disease, I am donating all the proceeds I get from the release of this music video/download single to Marie Curie Cancer Care - a charity set up to give cancer sufferers and their families much needed care and respite in specially designed hospices; care that my brother was very grateful to receive in his lifetime and wanted to help them as much as he could through his 'Human is Not Alone' initiative: www.facebook.com/HumanIsNotAlone/

For more info on my brother and his honest, and often humorous, take on cancer, have a read of his blog here: robbiemcooper.wordpress.com/2012/10/20/banal-cancer/

All donations big or small greatly received :)

lyrics

An ordinary morning it was
Just another morning it was till the message came
The call I hoped never to hear

Got on the first available flight
Couldn't really believe it was right
Every hour I prayed:
Oh please don't you take him away

Never knew that I was running, running so far
With every little dream I'm falling, falling apart
Oh, we'll meet again in another land
My immortal friend, I'll see you again

So here we are, the ones left behind
Picking up all the pieces we find
Starting every day trying to know how to feel

Some people say that life carries on
But it's so hard to now that you're gone
Oh, how could I know that I would be saying goodbye

Never knew that I was running, running so far
With every little dream I'm falling, falling apart
Never knew that I was running, running so far
With every little dream I'm falling, falling apart
Oh, we'll meet again in another land
My immortal friend
My immortal friend
