kaydeefalls | when everything's normal again

Okay. For the record, I have no idea where this came from. I heard this song for the first time on Friday night. Three days later, there was a vid. So I guess that's kind of like Monty Python's killer rabbit of vid bunnies.

Backstory on the music: this song was written by the brother of the director of the most recent show I worked on, which closed on Sunday. He's a professional singer/songwriter who just finished a project to produce one song per week for 40 weeks until his 40th birthday. This is the final song. And as a theater professional, my god, it speaks to me so much. Because you devote all this time and investment and putting your social life on hold for months, and then it's just -- done. And, fuck, now what?

We've all experienced it in some form or another.

The Doctor shows his companions the wonders of the universe, all of time and space. And it's marvelous and huge and impossible, and then it ends. How do you go back to normal after that?

LYRICS:

It's hard to remember
That late September
When all this came crashing down
Darkness to daylight
You kept me up nights
Without you I should sleep sound
What am I gonna do now?

What am I gonna do now?
What am I gonna do when
Everything's normal again
And nobody's around?
What am I gonna do now?

After all you've shown me
You leave me lonely
Still talking about my poor heart
All my pretending
Comes to an ending
With nowhere for me to start
What am I gonna do now?

What am I gonna do now?
What am I gonna do when
Everything's normal again
And nobody's around?
What am I gonna do now?

What am I gonna do now without you?
