No, it isn't Drake, it is Kyle Brew back with another banger of his own. This was at his home in Melbourne, Australia, on my trip there. In his little courtyard one morning, over a couple cups of coffee as we were trading songs back and forth, he played me this one and it struck me quite hard. Kyle welcomed me into his home with open arms, and his roommates were most accommodating to this far flung, song hunting Tennessean. Hell, Mr. Brew even quit his job for the occasion, so we packed the week with nothing but adventure and song, for you all. I love you, Kyle! I love you, Australia!
And yes, this is indeed filmed entirely on a Sony Handycam from the year 1999. All great art is, including all the field recordings on this playlist; • MiniDV tape field reco...

Lovely, like his way of playing a lot, really smooth! Chords and lyrics below folks, have fun! Half step down tuning, Capo on 2 in the original, you can play it in standard with Capo on 1 as well though The F is played as a cowboy chord without Barree (13321x), the G in F shape 2 frets up (35543x) Verses C / C F C / F G / G C (+C7 in Verse 2 & 4) Chorus F F# / G C C7 / F / G C C7 / F / G / C E7 Am D7 / F G C (+C7 in 2nd Chorus) Interlude C / C / F G C (+C7 in 2nd Interlude) Bridge F / G C C7 / F / G C C7 / F G / C E7 Am D7 / F G C Outro F G / C E7 Am D7 / F G / F G / F D7 G F# F C [Verse 1] Someone help me understand What it is we're doing here What it means to be content cause I don't understand What that word even means [Verse 2] Well, am I the child of God? Or the dust of ancient stars Is it real or is it worse, a blessing or a curse Floating helpless through the universe [Chorus] If this is really God's plan I think they oughta make a new one For all the pain and suffering it brings The hunger and the killing and the greed And all the trouble I've given myself Sitting around Waiting for something to care about Oh this existential stress will surely be the end of me [Interlude] [Verse 3] Well to be or to become Be the finger or the gun Or the bullet slicing through the ideas of the truth Polarizing me and you [Verse 4] Now the poison's in my dreams Take away my will to be Sure it's a miracle to breathe but the choice is ours to see The damage and the misery [Chorus] If this is really God's plan I think they oughta make a new one For all the pain and suffering it brings The hunger and the killing and the greed And all the trouble I've given myself Sitting around Waiting for something to care about Oh this existential stress will surely be the end of me [Bridge] Oh I'm so tired Of being scared and wired and unslept Oh I'm so done Of being on the run from my own head Oh, whatever it is that put us here Really did a number on us all Mmmmh, this existential stress will surely be the reason I fall [Interlude] [Outro] Yeah all this trouble's like a fingerprint, thumb on my neck Choking rare moments of happiness Yeah this existential stress will surely be the end This existential stress will likely be end This existential stress will surely be the end of me
