Wish You Were Here Joel Dobbins Freedom

Back Story:

"There was this girl, friends of friends of the band I was in at the time, and we were at a party talking briefly the weekend before. I was literally on my way to band rehearsals in the car when the lyrics came to me in a very sudden way. I immediately turned to the side of the road, fell upon the chords and recorded a quick demo right there in the car which got uploaded to SoundCloud. This was in 2013. Throughout the years I would keep playing the song on acoustic guitar and it always struck me as something very emotionally fuelled, it would actually almost move me to tears each time. After re-recording it in 2019 after setting up my first home studio, it was the first song I used when I got my Rode NT1-A mic so I re-recorded it once more. It's one of my most directly honest songs to date."

Lyrics:

I wish you were here with me
We could spend this memory
Till the day is clear
We'll share a tear

And I wish this is how it ends
We could be more than best of friends
Till the time is done
Let's raise together each one

I wish you were here with me
Wish you were here with me
We could spend eternity
Could spend eternity
Till the day is clear
Till the day is clear
We'll share a tear

And I wish this is how it ends
Wish this is how it ends
We could be more than best of friends
More than best of friends
Till the time is done
Till the time is done
Let's raise together each one

I wish you were here with me
We could spend eternity
I wish you were here
Oh I wish
Wish you were here
