When I’m Not Around (Single)

“When I’m Not Around” is an intimate ballad about loss, memory, and the quiet ways love remains. Told from the perspective of a mother reaching out to those she left behind, the song offers a deeply personal reflection on grief, connection, and enduring love.

Dedicated to Beata, a very special and strong woman who left this earth too soon, the song honours a presence that continues to be deeply felt 25 years later. She moved so many — and still does.

Lyrics

Sit down some, think of all my words then
And of those to come
Sadly you will tell our children
When I’m not around

Tell them, love is worth a living
To learn from ups and downs
Feel me, breathe and see and touch me
When I’m not around

It’s gonna be alright
Somebody lets us grow
For this feeling inside
I’ll send you light
Don’t cry, it’s gonna be alright
I’m still by your side – somehow or other

I will always watch your existence
And I will come down
To sit softly on your right shoulder
Whispering safe sounds

Someday we will meet at Peter’s
But don’t meet me now
Make a promise, that you won’t make trouble
And live your life until it’s gone.

It’s gonna be alright…

No doubt please if there really is a god
When she’s not around
Maybe then she teaches someone else
how to love
