We were too young to think ‘bout dying, but we had to anyway.
Fidel was gonna send those bombers flying real soon.
Digging deep inside the basement, storing water and canned goods.
Hope we live to see another day. 

But things soon calmed down in the palace, order restored to Camelot.
Then that fateful day in Dallas, order died.
Watching grainy film set on repeat, nobody knows what’s what.
We watched little John John and we cried. You’re all safe they told us, but they lied.

Down in Memphis they shot Martin, out in L.A. Bobby too.
Watching all our heroes dying in prime time.
in Chicago they were cracking heads and knee caps, they kept showing us the news.
What were we supposed to do and say? Act like them and look the other way?
Sorry, that’s not happening today! 

Every night we’d watch the footage, bombing kids in Vietnam.
If you watch it long enough, it’ll dull the senses.
They turned the guns on us in Ohio, Nixon dropped another bomb.
This is gonna shape the thing you do. Questioning the things you thought you knew.
Fifty years have passed, it still rings true.
You will either take a stand - or watch Fox News.

What Was I Made For? (Billie Eilish) – Male Baritone Cover by Fokke Vance

What Could Happen is an uplifting and upbeat indie anthem that features a pleasantly relentless chorus surrounded by melodic and shimmering verses. Throughout the production of the song, the band carefully danced the line between indie pop and indie rock, they also included some retro texture which glues the whole thing together in a nostalgic kind of comfort. Brothers Brady and Keenan Fitzgerald shared the role of lead vocals on this piece, bringing a new life and vibe to each transition.
Michael Burger provides the perfect percussive heartbeat for this summer jam, upping the energy with every drum fill, and grabbing our attention with his carefully placed silence.
Austin Fitzgerald sends the song off with an explosive guitar solo that honorably soars above mix.
The lyrics of this composition ask a simple but invaluable question "what could happen if we never give up?". LOWERCASE committee knows what they want, the question they are now asking themselves... and others is, what could happen if we never give up?

What Could Happen

In their second EP, Michael Barrow & The Tourists takes a deep dive into roots rock and vintage soul. Get ready for some organ, groovy bass lines, funky guitar licks, and soulful vocals.

ABOUT THE SONG

In singer and lyricist Andrew Gavin Williams words, "This song is about the many forms grief can take—particularly in the digital age. I read an article about a woman named Eugenia who made a 'digital monument' for her friend Roman who had died tragically in an accident. The memorial was an interactive chat bot that pulled words and phrases from email and text conversations between her and her late friend throughout the years. The article touched me but left me unsettled. While the conversations felt sweet and melancholy, it all felt a bit like the entering the uncanny valley. Does our technology make it harder to get closure? What ought we do with the digital remains of our loved ones?"


LYRICS

Remember how we made a surprise for Protey
In the trash bags on his birthday that year?
Tell me everything that you remember
I think my air is getting thinner up here

When our friends die, I think that we will too
We'll make them new and put them online
Feeling like a dream is coming true
Remember me and I'll remember you
And when we die, we'll make it out alive
Feeling like a dream is coming true

Violet little paper wings
Please don't fly away for nothing you'd lose
Roma, oh how I want you to remember
And at the same time it's familiar and so strange

When our friends die, I think that we will too
We'll make them new and put them online
Feeling like a dream is coming true
Remember me and I'll remember you
And when we die, we'll make it out alive
Feeling like a dream is coming true  

I promise
You can be honest
You are loved
I'll save your breakfast for you
You were loved more than you know
Even lying on the sofa all day again
In a weird mood
You slept all day after that
Finally ate your breakfast

When we see someone in our dream
We just see ourselves
Dreams don't mean anything
By the way, where can I buy fresh berries at night?
Goodnight
Goodnight

Where can I buy fresh berries at night? (single)

Where can I buy fresh berries at night?

STREAM/BUY

Fellow Hollow - "Where can I buy fresh berries at night?"

This is a song about facing your ego and coming home to your deepest spiritual self. It is a reflection on my early 20's when I was searching for answers and trying to heal from my own anxiety and depression. It became apparent that we all need to focus on our own healing and not blame others for the pain in our lives. You have to stay true to your path, keep your heart from growing numb, and always remember that you’re never alone.
