Here are the lyrics of "Can't Face It - Julian Lamadrid":
I miss you most in the evenings
Every time the sun goes down
There's something bout the moon when it's gleaming
Reminds me that your not around
And It could be the change of season
Or maybe it's this humdrum town
But I can't stop my heart from bleeding
And falling to the rock hard ground
Cause I'm missing it
The way that I could talk with you listening
I'm done with all the schemes and the riddling
Ive gotta tell you now I've been
Missing my sunshine
Oh now you've got me visiting
The future that I'd always been envisioning
But now it's nothing more than just a crippling vision of brighter summer day
But what am I supposed to say
When your a million miles away
And our playlists stuck on replay
Whilst the memory continues to fade
And what am I supposed to do
When every thing reminds me of you
Trying to find a way to get out
But I still can't face the truth
No I still just face it
And maybe it's the way shed kiss me
Or maybe how she said my name
I guess that now its all just history
And things'l never be the same
But we were meant to be together
Through it till the very last day
But now she's got my favourite sweater
And I'm just stuck with all of this pain
and I'm missing it
The way that I could talk with you listening
I'm done with all the schemes and the riddling
Ive gotta tell you now I've been
Missing my sunshine
Oh no now you've got me visiting
The future that I'd always been envisioning
But now it's nothing more than just a crippling
Vision of a brighter summer day
And what am I supposed to say
When your a million mile away
And our playlist is all stuck on replay
Whilst the memories continue to fade
And what am I supposed to do
When every thing reminds me of you
Trying to find a way to get out
But I still can't face the truth
No I just can't face it
No I just can't face it
No I just can't face the truth
And Now my heart feels vacant
Cause It was always me and you
And no I just can't face it
And no I still can't face the truth
my heart feels vacant
Cause it was always me and you
And no I just can’t face the truth
And what am I supposed to say
When your a million mile away
And our playlist is all stuck on replay
Whilst the memories continue to fade
And what am I supposed to do
when I’m curled up in my room
Trying to find a way to get out
But I still can't face the truth
What inspired you to write “Can’t Face It”?
The song is all about long distance love, the idea of constantly thinking about somebody that is miles away from you, and the fact that the love might fade because of the distance. People begin to forget and eventually you have to come to terms with the idea that the relationship just isn’t gonna work out. The love is over, and basically I just “can’t face it”.
¿What is the main subject about this song?
Losing a person that was once a part of your life. We grow apart and thats just how it is.
¿Is there a story behind this song?
I moved to New York about a year and a half ago, and I had to leave a lot of people behind, I came here completely alone and basically I wrote this not just about one girl, but the many people that were once a huge part in my life who are now just memories, songs, pictures. Thats what time and distance reduces us to. It’s kind of beautiful really.
¿Are you already planning the music video for this song?
I’m kind of taking a break from music videos now. I really want the music to paint a picture by itself. I had some ideas for this song, but basically my ideas are too great and grand that I wouldn’t have the money to make it possible. So until I have a lot of money and amazing collaborators I’m gonna put a hold on videos. I want everything to be perfect and I won’t do something unless i really feel it’s the best it could be. So yeah, no video unfortunately.
¿Why the sudden change in the type of music you where sharing?
I’ve been working on an album for the past year and I’ve been having trouble with the whole release of it all. I guess I got to a point where I’m bored of trying to get publicity and attention, so now I’m just gonna do it all by myself and release the music that I believe in and the music I love.
Thats my plan. My new album will be out in about a month. I’m super exited. Life is good.
When did it all started for you in the music industry?
I guess “the industry” got interested in me right after my song ‘Understand’ kinda blew up. I don’t care for the industry though, it’s all a big joke. I know guys that send emails and hit people up and make connections, but the older I get the less I really care about all that. It’s a waste of energy for me. All I want to do is write great music, the best music. My art will speak for me.
Could you share some of your biggest accomplishments in music?
I don’t think I’ve had any real accomplishments yet in music, at least nothing compared to what I hope to achieve.
Apart from your song “Cuervos” that is in spanish, How else have your latin roots influenced your music?
I think the Mexican music my mother would played for me as a child has stuck around in my mind and it comes out through a little bit in my music. Bands like Timbiriche and Bacilos were always playing in my house. El Chapo De Sinaloa is another of my favorite groups, but thats a little more Mariachi. I guess with latin music you can just really hear that everyone is having fun, you can always hear personality coming through in the music, and I think thats something that I’ve held on to.
Ahora cuéntenme ustedes... ¿Les gustó la canción? ¿Ya habían escuchado su música? ¿Cuál es su favorita?
