One Hundred Happy Goodbyes

The second song is ready for the August concert. It has been arranged and will be performed by Michael Jodell, Matt Brown with Allen Hunter and Derek Brown (the rhythm section of the Eels) on bass and drum. "The song came together so naturally! We are so excited to be a part of this project. Teisha's lyrics are beautiful."

 

 

Lyrics by Teisha Helgerson
Music by Ms Michael Jodell and Matt Brown
(Teisha's chord notes - C E7 Am F)

See what comes over,
Claim what you will.
Take your impressions
and follow the drill.

Of your opinions, there
on the ground
Take the one over
That's making a sound.

Where is the wonder in the rest of these days?
Where is the tail of the tide?
Here comes the dream with the answers and names
And one hundred happy goodbyes.

See what comes under
Take up your fill.
Leave with the camera on
Shooting but still.

Beg for forgiveness,
Plead with the dead
before the sores senses
have gone to your head.

Where is the wonder in the rest of these days?
Where is the tail of the tide?
Here comes the dream with the answers and names
and one hundred happy goodbyes.
