a breakup song for all occasions

rock piano vocals harmony funk jazz instrumental blues experimental rhythm and blues improvisation multi genre

Hi! I'm a guitarist, singer and songwriter currently living in Fredericton, N.B., Canada. I've been performing music in one way or another since the mid '60's, starting out singing tenor in a barbershop quartet with my brothers and then into a progression of bands playing rock, jazz, blues and country and... whatever. It's been a fun ride so far and I'm still as exited about it as the day I began. Ralph Atkinson

Lyrics

You might see a crow fly over your head
and not give it a second thought
but the chances that changes are coming
are better than not

there's a crack running through the foundation
you've built your tumultuous life upon
and soon you'll find yourself singing
the inevitable song




Goodbye, goodbye

I don't know why it's so hard to get out
getting in was easy as pie

Goodbye, goodbye

I don't know why getting out is so hard
when getting in was easy as pie

Goodbye

I disagree with Tim; it's a small to middling sized gem. I particularly like the setting.

Ralph, each time I listen to this song, I get lost in its depth which is somehow fashioned out of the simplest words so well chosen. Amazing.
