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?
