saturday from goodbye, goodbye by an amiable medley

i wrote this song after one of my friends and biggest musical influences passed away last year. i was going through a really rough time after he passed away: i was working two jobs at about 70 hrs a week, i had just been dumped, and i felt very lost. it’s weird how you let the absence of somebody distract you from those who are still around. people are fragile, and i’m slowly learning how to appreciate them as well the as time i have with the ones i care about.

this would be one of the determining factors as to why i wanted this album to be so personal and why i wanted to include you guys in on it by taking submissions of you recording your own personal goodbyes that you, for one reason or another, were unable to say.

the end of this song is concluded with an encouraging voicemail from my mother that she left me during the time i wasn’t doing too well. she had been the one to inform me my of my friend’s passing while i was at work one saturday night. she’s one of the most beautiful and important people i have in my life.
