about

"You You You" revolves around depersonalisation, a relatively unknown condition that is now gaining more widespread attention. What happens is everything becomes unreal, yet you know who and where you are.

In most cases it can last for a few seconds or a minute, but it's truly frightening. But there are some who have to live with this all the time and it can become a never-ending loop of anxiety causing more anxiety.

The song also deals with me having to deal with my Dad suffering from dementia and watching him slowly fade away.

It's also a nod to the many alter egos of David Bowie.

I made it a vehicle for all of these and blended them into a made up character. "He" became "she" because it scanned slightly better.

lyrics

YOU YOU YOU

By Mark Newlove


Chorus

You you you….. (x2)

Verse 1

She’s living in a vacuum
This is how it feels
Fragments of personality 
Slowly unpeel

Fumble through the darkness
Grabbing from the air
Walk a mile in these bloodied shoes 
Deep in despair

Bridge 1

Madness is her mistress
Sliding into hell 
Seething stacks of anger
Falling, calling

Is she losing her mind?

Chorus

You you you….. (x3)

Verse 2

They track a moving target
Catch her if you can
Shapeshifting, transitioning 
Her only plan 

Memories are merging
Hiding in her bed
Crouching shadows whispering
Inside her head

Bridge 2

Unwelcome sense of mystery
Closer to the edge
Fast disintegration
Crawling, sprawling

Is she losing her mind?


You you you…. (x4)

Middle-8

Out of luck and she’s lying low must regain a sense of self
Separating, changing, danger, boundaries blurring 


Bridge 3

Let the meaning find her
Battle for her soul
Perpetual reinvention 
Squalling, brawling

You you you….

about

“Mark Newlove writes his own songs, covering a bewildering mix of styles ranging from folk, pop, rock, sea shanties, psychedelia, country, and much more. His is a palette of tuneful landscapes peppered by Alan Bennett type lyrics. Observing the little details and then blowing them up into hummable works is his forte. But he’s also much more than this.” Mac McCoy ... more
