This song is about how our great loves stay within us. From my experience of parting ways with a partner, this song articulates the initial feelings in a relationship of losing a part of yourself.
lyrics
G#m7 Gmaj7 | Bmin7 Emin9 | x2
Verse 1
Days gone, can you find out what they know
G#m7 Gmaj7 | Bmin7 Emin9 |
Well they’ve got faces but they never really show
G#m7 Gmaj7 | Bmin7 Emin9 |
Tears tears running down I was feeling kind of sad
G#m7 Gmaj7 | Bmin7 Emin9 |
So many feelings well they’re making me feel mad
G#m7 Gmaj7 | Bmin7 Emin9 |
When I get lonely well I spend time with myself
G#m7 Gmaj7 | Bmin7 Emin9 |
Its then I know, I can’t feel this love with no one else
G#m7 Gmaj7 | Bmin7 |
Chorus
Part of me fades when you go, when you’re gone, part of me
Emaj9 | Bmin7 | F#min7 | Emaj9 |
Part of me fades when you go, when you’re gone, part of me
Emaj9 | Bmin7 | F#min7 | Emaj9 |
Part of me goes insane, when you go, when you’re gone
Emaj9 | Bmin7 | F#min7 | Emaj9 |
Part of me fades when you go, when you’re gone, part of me
Emaj9 | Bmin7 | F#min7 | Emaj9 |
Emaj9 | Cmaj7 Gmaj7 | Amin9 |
Verse 2
Our precious time, those layers on our skin
G#m7 Gmaj7 | Bmin7 Emin9 |
I’m baffled by this culture, don’t you keep your feelings deep within
G#m7 Gmaj7 | Bmin7 Emin9 |
You should know, well you taught me how to love
G#m7 Gmaj7 | Bmin7 Emin9 |
When we’re apart I start to see that maybe that’s enough
G#m7 Gmaj7 | Bmin7 |
Chorus
Part of me fades when you go, when you’re gone, part of me
Emaj9 | Bmin7 | F#min7 | Emaj9 |
Part of me fades when you go, when you’re gone, part of me
Emaj9 | Bmin7 | F#min7 | Emaj9 |
Part of me goes insane, when you go, when you’re gone
Emaj9 | Bmin7 | F#min7 | Emaj9 |
Part of me goes insane, when you go, when you’re gone
Emaj9 | Bmin7 | F#min7 | Emaj9 | x infinity

I once spent a whole day lying on the carpet in my old house during winter time, listening to this album on repeat. There's a rawness that touches every part of me. It's just stunning. Flo Perlin
What a beautiful album. it's a proper album too, a body of work which combines together its themes and aesthetics into something cohesive.
it's been a long time since I've heard music that I feel close to and remember a lot. This album has been made by experts. That sounds very serious, but they really are, it's an extraordinary experience when music, art, is so good it becomes part of your life. But that's the whole point, isn't it? thenictu
