Boyce Avenue’s For the First Time Cover

Yet another great cover by Boyce Avenue. I love these guys since I first heard them in 2007. Alejandro’s voice is just amazing. And personally, I like Boyce Avenue’s version of this song than the original version sung   The Script.  But regardless of who sung the song best, For the First Time is a great song. I love it to be honest and I really find it inspiring.

Tough times, I’m pretty sure we’re all having those times. Probably not just at the same time, but yeah we have those days.

Anyway, with all the recession and unemployment crisis going on around the world, this song is very timely. And just like what the song is trying to say, you  should not give up no matter how many times you tumbled down on the dirt. Always get back up, shake it off and keep moving forward.

You see, these hard times, they aren’t forever. They too have an end. We just have to be strong and carry on because it always get better in the end. 🙂

Watch video below and see lyrics after the cut

“For The First Time”

She’s all laid up in bed with a broken heart,
While I’m drinking jack all alone in my local bar,
And we don’t know how,
How we got in to this mad situation,
Only doing things out of frustration

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard,

She needs me now but I can’t seem to find the time,
I’ve got a new job now on the unemployment line,
And we don’t know how,
How we got into this mess
is it god’s test,
Someone help us ’cause we’re doing our best,

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard

But we’re gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven’t for a while
A while ya
We’re smiling but we’re close tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we’re meeting for the first time

[x3]
Oooooo

She’s in line at the DOLE*
With her head held high (high)
While I just lost my job but
Didn’t lose my pride

But we both know how,
How we’re gonna make it work when it hurts,
When you pick yourself up,
You get kicked to the dirt,

Trying to make it work but,
Man these times are hard,

But we’re gonna start by,
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,

Doing things we haven’t for a while,
A while ya,
We’re smiling but we’re close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we’re meeting for the first time.

Ooooo
[x3]

Yeah…..
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Saying thing we haven’t for a while,
We’re smiling but we’re close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we’re meeting, for the first time

ooooo…., yeahh for the first time
(ooooo….), oh for the first time,
Yeah for the first time,
(just now got the feeling that we’re meeting…
For the first time)

[x4]
Oh these times are hard,
Yeah they’re making us crazy
Don’t give up on me baby
