Sydney Lyrics

Cover art for Sydney lyrics by Halifax

"The song 'Sydney' is about how, in May of 2003, my grandfather Sydney Marcus died after a battle with Parkinson disease and a related condition, dementia, which causes memory loss. For me, this was a lot different than writing about a normal death in the family, because for the last year of his, my grandfather couldn't even recognize me. So I tried to use lines such as 'You're so medicated, you don't even remember my name,' to try to put people in my shoes and show them how hard it was. So the message is, take advantage of the time you have with loved ones, because unlike these songs, they won't be around forever" ---Mike Hunau

this is my favorite song off their EP along with broken glass syndrome
