about

Teary-eyed but defiant pop-rock anthem, featuring the passionate Phil Sykes on lead vocal. Counterpart song to Reminders, Remind on Alterations. See in-depth album guide ('alterations revealed') at www.marknorthfield.com for the full explanation.

Nothing Impossible is also the title track of a digital EP released in Feb 2012. Mark's cute n colourful fishy animation video for the song can be seen on his YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/marknorthfield/videos.

This song is dedicated to Ian Carey. You're missed, mister.

lyrics

NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE
(for Ian Carey)

A simple tale I have to tell
Of a friend I loved too well
Always headin so very fast
To nowhere in particular
We should talk but I'm afraid
It is more than a bit too late
His animal eyes
Caught in the headlights
Now they're frozen in time
You gotta face up
You gotta face up
Don't cry

Keeping up appearances
Might've guessed it'd end in tears
Yeah the wife the kids the neighbours
Little hills grew mountainous
Where were you inside your head
Curled up safe from your bastard dad
Looking for love
Looking for peace
The quick release
You gotta wake up
You gotta wake up
Oh please

I really wish I could have helped you
(I didn't know how, I didn't know how)
Really wish I could have held you
(Not stood tongue-tied)
Everything is how you left it
Except those who had to learn to move on
Nothing impossible
Nothing impossible in this life

You were once in a house on fire
You were once such a proud father
Even now after all these years
Of being sad and furious
The clinical term doesn't relate
You were my best mate
Oh what a waste
Oh what a perfect waste

I really wish I could have helped you...

I really wish I could have helped you
(I didn't know how, I didn't know how)
Really wish I could have held you
(Not stood tongue-tied)
Everything is how you left it
For those who had to learn the hard way
Nothing impossible
Nothing impossible, nothing at all
