Nicolette & The Nobodies - Show Up

"Show Up" is a reckoning about coming to terms with loving someone that will never love you back. These moments are so painful and so drawn out that you’re just hanging on for any little thing to release you from it. The song is that last look over your shoulder when you are still convincing yourself they’re going to be standing there before you have to walk through that door.

Lyrics:
Go ahead and tell me
What this is all about
Just say that you don't want me
That you're looking for a way out.

Well not knowing is torture
A weight I cannot bear
Why do I give everything
To someone who ain’t even there?

So baby please show up
I need you to show up
I’ve been waiting for you to show up
Show up for me

Hooked on the things you tell me
Lost on the ones you don't share
Leaves too much room for wondering
Why it’s so hard to show you care

So baby please show up
I need you to show up
I’ve been waiting for you to show up
Show up for me

Everyone’s telling me that I need to be strong,
Well maybe I don't wanna be,
I just want you to prove ‘em all wrong

But first you gotta
Show up
I’m begging you to show up
‘Cause I’ve been waiting for you to show up
Show up for me
Show up for me
I’m a-begging you please
Please show up for me.

I just had a listen the the LP on Bandcamp. Artistic integrity is not lost, just hidden. Fantastic

> ...coming to terms with loving someone that will never love you back.

I've been married to someone like that for 24 years.

Not planning on seeing our silver anniversary.

Oh and my comment is coming from a huge Pink Floyd fan!

She is so good, I'm not offended at all that *she's playing traditional White music*, not offended at all.
