Heartbroken from a relationship that's long over, Chris is struggling to let go of the pain he’s still carrying. Uncertain about his future, he wonders, and as he sings his sorrow, his voice becomes a window into the mind of someone caught between holding on to precious memories and the tough reality of moving on.
The classic Americana instrumental of this song brings out the bittersweet tone that fits the theme. There are multiple exceptional patterns and expressive touches or fillers from acoustic and electric guitars. The lead guitar tone also has a brief solo moment. Guitars overall have an incredible range of intensity, style, and arrangement.
There are strings breathing out textures and movements in the background alongside some really intricate vocal harmonies, solidified by a thriving bass and thumping drums. With all the instrumental choreography, the music becomes just as important as the lyrics.
In 'I’m Never Where I Am', Chris struggles with memories. Even when the person he loves suggests going back to being friends, it’s clear that it's too difficult for Chris. There’s just too much history and too many feelings involved.
Chris is struggling with just one unanswered question: what's going to happen, and does the person he loves feel the same way about their relationship? It's hard for him to find peace or closure right now. But despite all the sadness, he still holds onto some hope. He knows that letting go of his true love might be the only way to find peace. So, even though he might never see that person again, he wishes them all the happiness in the world.
