the story behind the song

I normally don't do covers. I have so many of my own stories to share with the world that it often feels like a useless distraction. But "Iris”, the infamous song by The Goo Goo Dolls, has always had a special place in my heart. I have had several times throughout my life that these lyrics really hit home for me. I worked with GARRY B, Miscris, and DSTRT on this track back in the fall of 2020 and I'm so excited to finally be sharing it with you!

lyrics

By Johnny Rzeznik

And I'd give up forever to touch you, 'cause I know that you feel me somehow. You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be, and I don't want to go home right now. And all I can taste is this moment. And all I can breathe is your life. And sooner or later, it's over. I just don't wanna miss you tonight. And I don't want the world to see me, 'cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming, or the moment of truth in your lies. When everything feels like the movies - yeah - you bleed just to know you're alive. And I don't want the world to see me, 'cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.
