NZ Band: Welcome to "Real Life"

Evermore, a band consisting of three brothers, was formed in Feilding, a relaxing, beautiful, small town without any traffic lights in New Zealand. Now the band is based in Sydney, Australia, the country where the oldest brother, Jon Hume was born. It is said that Evermore has been influenced, among others, by The Who, Led Zeppelin and U2. So far, the band has released a number of albums, and its hits are Light Surrounding You, Running, Morning Star, Unbreakable, and Real Life, to list a few examples. The musicians of Evermore are Jon Hume (vocals, guitar), Peter Hume (bass, keyboard, guitar), and Dann Hume (drums, vocals).

Most of us, I believe, will agree with Evermore that life is real. It is important then for us to always remember to be realistic, to wisely face our daily realities which might sometimes be unpleasant. Let's find out what Evermore says about life, which is real.

Real Life

By Evermore

Welcome to the real life
Welcome to the real life
I've come to realize it's no game
No one is the same
There's so much more to life
Than meets the eye

At night I just can't sleep
The mornings come too soon
My head is swimming in
The mess around this room
Voices in the street
I hear them telling me

Welcome to the real life
Open up your eyes
Listen to the words they're saying
The chords are changing
So take off your disguise and step out of the night

Sometimes just can't think
I can't think what to do
The noise is deafening
And I can't get through to you
Voices in the street
I hear them asking me

What are we coming to?
Why are the reasons so few?
What are we coming to?
What does it mean to you?
After all we've been through
It all comes down to you
It all comes down to you

Welcome to the real life
