Joey Cape – ‘It Could Be Real’ (Official Video)
‘A Good Year To Forget’ is Joey Cape’s latest opus and it drops on FAT on August 13th.
‘A Good Year To Forget’, a record that was written during a year that saw him lose his father, separate from his wife of 20 years, contract COVID, and move back in with his parents as a result of a livelihood lost. Pretty heavy themes here but all extremely relatable.

Lyrics:
It’s a long way back from a twenty-year nap and I’m out of practice now
Another mistletoe in a transient tomb for those who’ve been beaten down
But it could be real, it could be real for some
I can be real, I can be real enough
If there’s a long way round it’s where I will be found and I’ll get a lazy start
Another perfect day to ignore any pain and duct tape this calloused heart
But I can be cool. I can get a haircut
I can adhere. I can keep my mouth shut
And all through your past broken glass. Shards that left blood on the tracks
The ideal space to be out of the game reinventing
In the year of the empty seat at the table. The valued and the grateful to have shared
How they miss them. How they miss them
Another humbling day to revise your routine and echo eternity
Yeah, it’s reflection time to affirm and define how stable we used to be
And I could get there but I might be a no-show
Cause I’m just a square and that’s just a place to go
I could be fit, I can fit in enough
It could be real, It could be real for some
