Corey Stewart – “We Can’t Be Together Anymore”

For your listening enjoyment, here is the second of the two songs I showcased on the SongCatcher program on Radio Adelaide recently.

It’s called “We Can’t Be Together Anymore” and it’s simply about the realization that a relationship is no longer working and the conversation behind it.

As I mentioned in the interview this song is based on a toxic relationship one of my good friends was experiencing however, the theme of the song is universal enough for anyone to relate to it.

We Can’t Be Together Anymore
© C. Stewart 2008

G D C D G D C Am

G D C D
You want a bed to rest your weary head
We both endured another battle
I cannot wait until this break of day
To resolve this painful matter

G D C D G D C Am

You are to be or not to be afraid
For all the reasons that you’ve given
But all these lies are coming back again
Even though we lived in heaven

Am D
It’s really obvious what happened today
Am D
Let’s cut our losses and go our separate ways

G D C D G D C D
I said no way, we can’t be together anymore
G D C D G D C Am
I said no way, we can’t be together anymore

Stop telling me that everything’s okay
I know damn well that you are lying
Come on babe do you take me for a fool?
Well at least you keep on trying

It’s really obvious what happened today
Let’s cut our losses and go our separate ways
If we can still be friends well that’s alright by me
I know it’s for the best baby cant you see

Chorus (x2)

****************************************

I like the fact that the lyrics of the pre chorus is extended at the end to give the story some closure. I didn’t want the song to be too gloomy.

I hope that you enjoy this little glimpse into my songwriting. I must say that putting my songs online is a can be a confronting experience however, I got over that feeling very quickly.

Now that I’m learning more about recording audio and using my new Zoom H4 Digital Handy Recorder I’ll be putting more stuff online in the near future.

Until next time, happy writing

Great songwriting man. I love your voice. Really love it. If you have posted audio in the past I apologize, because this is the first time I have heard you sing. What a treat.

Take care and keep writing,

Don M

Hey Don good to hear from you. Thank you so much for the feedback. You’re right about this being the first time you’ve heard my stuff. I haven’t put anything up until now.

I actually had some moments of madness before making the decision to put my music up online but I thought that the least I could do for the readers of SZ was to show some examples of my own work for all the world to hear.

I’m glad I made the right decision. Theres much more where that came from and it’s feedback like yours that inspire me to keep exposing my songs online

Once again thank you,

Corey
