LYRICS: Come on, Harry, we wanna say goodnight to you Holdin’ me back Gravity’s holdin’ me back I want you to hold out the palm of your hand Why don’t we leave it at that? Nothin’ to say When everything gets in the way Seems you cannot be replaced And I’m the one who will stay, oh-oh-oh In this world, it’s just us You know it’s not the same as it was In this world, it’s just us You know it’s not the same as it was As it was, as it was You know it’s not the same Answer the phone “Harry, you’re no good alone Why are you sitting at home on the floor? What kind of pills are you on?“ Ringin’ the bell And nobody’s coming to help Your daddy lives by himself He just wants to know that you’re well, oh-oh-oh In this world, it’s just us You know it’s not the same as it was In this world, it’s just us You know it’s not the same as it was As it was, as it was You know it’s not the same Go home, get ahead, light-speed internet I don’t wanna talk about the way that it was Leave America, two kids follow her I don’t wanna talk about who’s doin’ it first As it was You know it’s not the same as it was As it was, as it was BROOKLYN DUO BIO: Founded in 2014, Brooklyn Duo has quickly established itself as one of today’s most successful classical crossover ensembles. Through its creative arrangements and live video performances, the piano and cello duo has garnered a huge following, with over 1.2 million YouTube subscribers and over 150 million streams annually on platforms such as Spotify and Pandora Radio. In 2014, the couple arranged and recorded two pop covers and released them on YouTube. Shakira noticed the duo’s cover and promoted it to her 130 million-plus fan base, saying: “We’re loving Brooklyn Duo’s piano/cello cover of Empire! Great work guys.“ The boost that resulted from that exposure and the positive response they were getting on YouTube encouraged Marnie and Patrick to continue creating videos. (Other notable shout-outs since then include ones from Taylor Swift, a-ha and Pearl Jam.) Today, Marnie and Patrick have released over 100 videos on their Brooklyn Duo YouTube channel and 10 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Ariana Grande. They also have a second YouTube channel, “Brooklyn Classical“, which aims to introduce classical music to a larger audience through high quality, live video performances. Brooklyn Classical often hosts high-profile guest artists, including the world-renowned Dover and Escher string quartets, percussionist Ivan Trevino and cellist Cicely Parnas. Popular classical music stations Classic FM and WQXR regularly share Brooklyn Duo’s music on their social media pages, with Classic FM calling the duo “masters of the artfully planned pop cover.” Their music has also been featured on several television shows, including Grey’s Anatomy, Pretty Little Liars, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and America’s Got Talent. #brooklynduo
