    Smile You'll be a memory

    Hi,

    I am trying to find a song I heard in 2004. It was on a "mix-tape" someone had made for me, but I don't remember the name of the singer. Some other performers on it were Iron & Wine, Stefan Malkmus, Will Oldham, Devendra Benhardt etc. Since it's been quite a while, some of what I recollect may not be very accurate, but mabe someone will find it familar.

    It's an indie kind of song, performed by a guy who half talks half sings the lyrics.
    The first line is "Wherever you are I hope you are (happy?)"
    It says something about: "the things I have done in the last ... days"
    and it ends with the words: "soon you'll be a memory (to me?)"

    I couldn't find it anywhere online - any ideas?

    Thanks,
    M.

    Thumbs up Found it!!

    Gone away / Adem

    Wherever you've gone it's the same to me
    Be it ocean or London - wherever you call home.
    All dressed up in your finery
    You'll take what you can again

    And every love I've ever had
    With envy and vanity
    Has sworn me to secrecy
    So tell me: how can we share out these things
    That weren't mine or yours, but ours?

    I wonder if you are alone tonight
    You're probably laughing at me
    Wearing your clothes and your make up
    That you always left off for me

    It's alright
    Everything will be alright
    We had a good time
    There's plenty more left for me
    It's alright
    Everything will be alright
    Though it might take a long time
    You'll be a memory

    It sunned and it rained and it sunned again
    On the trip that I took away
    And looking back with all honesty
    It reflected the moods that I had
