Friends, thanks for sticking with us throughout this journey. It's been a long time since this stupid crazy thing began, and we've had a lot of fun. But all good things must come to an end, and this is the last 52 song project song. We hope you like it. Song Discussion CHRIS: Steve and I had planned to get together this week and spend a few days working on an epic final recording to send this project out. Unfortunately, Steve got sick and wasn't able to make it. The result is that I descended into my recording cave feeling a lot of pressure to create something special. We'd never planned the final song in advance, and I wasn't sure what I was going to do. I sat at my keyboard cycling through ideas. I started and rejected about five song attempts before settling on this one, then set to work on fleshing it out. This is the result. I like that it clearly goes on too long at the end. The singer keeps saying "it's over, it's over" but refuses to let it finish. That's kind of how we feel today. Happy and proud the project is finished, but sad, too. We'll miss these songs, and this way of connecting with you every week. Thanks again for listening and sharing. Maybe we'll find ways to revisit these songs in 2012. Until then, here's hoping you have a very happy New Year! Lyrics It’s been a long time Since this stupid crazy thing began We drank a lot of wine But now it’s coming to an end Cuz I got what I need And you got what you can We’ve had some good times And now we need time to mend So get out of your mind Cuz there’s no need to pretend It’s over, it’s over, the end Baby you look fine And you’ll make a lot of happy men Baby I feel like lyin’ But I won’t go down that road again Cuz I got what I need And you got what you can We’ve had some good times And now we need time to mend So get out of your mind Cuz there’s no need to pretend It’s over, it’s over, the end It’s over, it’s over, the end Credits Words and music: Chris Tindal Chris Tindal: Organ, vocals Steve Salt: Nausea, general malaise
