Dean Lewis is an Australian pop singer and songwriter who channels heartfelt emotions into his music. He masterfully illustrates moments of his life. Lewis' 2025 album, The Epilogue (Deluxe), references perseverance through personal struggles, past lovers, vulnerability, and hardships of life. Two profound songs, "I Hate That It's True" and "Be Alright" are perfect examples of his deeply personal, universally relatable music.
The hit song on his new album, "I Hate That It's True", lingers on affections and struggles from a past relationship. He confesses his feelings, "I'm still in love with you... There's no drug to get you off my mind..." His words describe how letting go of somebody is extremely difficult. Lewis shares his pain, "I can't give you up... Cause every time I do, I feel you in my blood." Love is crazy, complex, and indescribable. Part of healing means accepting a person's free will; even if it means they will no longer be close to you.
Dean Lewis' 2019 song, "Be Alright", has a very similar message to the melancholy "I Hate That It's True." Lewis repeats, "Let her go... But nothing heals... The past like time..." From very painful, traumatic memories, only time and forgiveness will allow healing. Again, he ponders, "And they can't steal... The love you're born to find... ." Lewis hints that even through heartbreak and dark times, if we look for it, we are still destined to find love.
"How Do I Say Goodbye" is an intense song expressing Lewis's deep sadness about his father who was diagnosed with cancer. Dean emphasizes that his love for music came from his father who taught him how to play the guitar. In this song, he questions, "So how do I say goodbye... To someone who's been with me for my whole damn life?" Lewis creates a tune that resonates with everyone. We all have to go through it at some point in our lives, so how do we say goodbye to someone we love?
Dean Lewis' music career began in 2014 and took off with the release of "Waves" in 2016. Lewis' first album, "A Place We Knew" came out in March 2019 and now in 2025, he's touring in support of his third album, "The Epilogue (Deluxe)".
