Only The Good Things is a new record by Canohead, a concept album on the year 2021, the year I lost my father and became one myself. As covid raged across the world, I was fighting a different fight... against an old friend I hadn't seen in a while.
You can download the entire record before it's available anywhere else at holistic-songwriting.com/canohead

We took mom to IKEA
To pick up furniture for her new place
And as she was getting excited
I caught myself with this thought:
"What a waste of time
He's gone and you'll follow soon
And what a pain that'll be
To get rid of this bed along with you in it
And I'm so ashamed
Forgive me if I'm being blunt
I've just seen too much this year and I'm still healing'
Yeah I'm so ashamed
But these thoughts they keep coming through
And I'm just not where I need to be to stop them
I haven't been a good son
That was more than clear when we went through his things
When so much of it meant so little to me
Did I even know him?
I just feel so disconnected from him now
And I can't imagine losing you this way, way
But I think I might
Forgive me if I'm being blunt
I've just seen too much this year and I'm still healing'
Yeah I'm so ashamed
But these thoughts they keep coming through
And I'm just not where I need to be to stop them
to stop them
And I don't think I can go through your things when you're gone
There's too much stuff you love that means nothing to me
And I'll
Throw it all away
Just get rid of all of it
Trash your favorite things
So I won't have to think
Throw it all away
Just get rid of all of you
Trash your favorite things
So I won't have to think
So I won't have to think
So I won't have to
I don't think I will be fine
And I don't think I will be ok
And I don't think I will be alright
Yeah I don't wanna think
It can't go on like this
I'm about to be a father
About to have a son, and I can't think this way
It can't go on like this
I'm about to be a father
About to have a son, and I can't think this way
