Big Thing from Down Below by Ted Hefko and The Thousandaires
One thing that Covid did was force me to reach out to more people around town that I would have just seen at gigs. I reached out to Paul Sanchez in late summer to see if he’d be into doing a writing session. We got together in my backyard one morning and wrote this together in one sitting. I’ve broken through on some song ideas that we’re stuck in my head for over a decade and I’ve also put some together pretty quickly. This collaboration showed me how quickly a song can come together.

Lyrics
always tell the truth and never lie
smile everyday, even if you have to try
say hello to everyone you see,
that was such a big thing for me,
wash your hands and take some time to breath,
don't forget to say your thank yous and your please,
never forget that you are free,
that was such a big thing to me,
that was such a big thing to me,
i reached a turning point, I didn't want to see,
taking care of someone else, unselfishly
that was such a big thing for me,
trust your heart and listen to your mind,
living don't get easier with time,
still, you'll find some truths along the way
stay your course no matter what they say,
that was such a big thing to me,
i reached a turning point, I didn't want to see,
taking care of someone else, unselfishly
that was such a big thing for me,

Ted Hefko & The Thousandaires stir up an intoxicating brew of the profound and the profane, of virtue and vice and most importantly the volatile in-between. Ted’s songs explore hope and hustlers, saints and strays, drifters and the down-and-out. The band brings these stories to life with the spontaneity of jazz, and the rough-hewn, bare-bones tone of backwoods rhythm and bllues.
