Name: Say Goodnight
Duration: P00H03M08S
Description: The muse came to and conquered me with this one, the whole track was composed and recorded, including backing vocals, in less than a couple of hours and I was more than happy with the result. The last two lines of the lyrics refer to 'wabi-sabi', a Japanese worldview centered on the acceptance of transition and imperfection: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, nothing is perfect.

lyrics

Now it's just you and me babe
We've passed on the torch
Time to move quietly
Out to the porch
We've kept the flag flying
High up in strong winds
Of changes and ages
Of odd ends and beginnings
Time to move over
Time to move on
Time to stop singing
Long forgotten songs

Time for you
Time for me
Time til there is no time
Left for us to be
So say goodnight
To the ones we love so well
Theirs is tomorrow
When our memory will pale
Theirs is the future
While we think of the past
And that nothing is finished
And that nothing will last

Schönfeld recommends:

A Journal Of The Plague Year (a compilation)
by Sunex Amures

Fellow bandcamper Sunex Amures makes the best out of our year of the plague and releases one scorcher after another. From rocking Baroque Prog to funky, punky Psyche it's all there. Unmissable. Schönfeld

Holy Wars
by Tuxedomoon

Heroes. Gods. No other band sounded like them 40 odd years ago, and no band does now. Avantgarde, left-field and immensely listenable - you simply MUST hear these guys' work. Schönfeld

Live with The No.6 Orchestra
by Everything Everything

Proof that intelligent Rock and Pop is alive and well! Blending angular guitar work, otherworldly vocals and vast soundscapes with modern rhythms this youngsters succeed where other fail. Great stuff! Schönfeld
