“April Fool” is the title of the debut EP from Tiz McNamara. The EP is dedicated to his father and brother who passed away as a result of an April 1 boating accident. The lyrics of the title track (found at the bottom of this post) appear to be directed to the tragedy. But the boating accident occurred before his first birthday; the lyrics are not consistent with that fact.
Quoting the bio of Tiz McNamara:
Originally a drummer since the age of 3, Tiz went on to study a music degree course in the prestigious Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. In his second year at LIPA, Tiz narrowly avoided having his foot amputated after a piano fell on it, but the injury was so severe it forced him to swap his drums for a guitar in order to continue on the course. Shortly after changing instruments Tiz took up singing and began to write his own songs including his first ever penned tune “Falling Asleep” which appears on this debut EP “April Fool.”

Lyrics of "April Fool" by Tiz McNamara
Well, I met her at the bottom of Hope Street
As the rain brought the first day of June
I’ve never gotten o’er so many strangers
She held me like the stars hold the moon
And I fall on my knee
And I fall on my knee
You know it hit me hard
It hit me heavy
I guess I always looked up to you
I know that you’d be almost 34 now
Instead you’d just become the April Fool
And I fall on my knee
[Sung 4x]
We told her that you were only sleeping
We told her that you would be for a while
As the years pass, the anger starts to creep in
It’s too much to take in as a child
And I fall on my knee
[Sung 4x]
Well, I met her at the bottom of Hope Street
