30 Days of Music: Day 10

Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep:

‘Goodbye Sky Harbor” by Jimmy Eat World. 

It’s a little over 16 minutes long.  The lyrics are extremely simple & short.  JEW goes into a very melodic but repetitive rift that just keeps going and going…filling whatever is left of the 16 minutes.  I love the song but it never fails to lull me into sleep if I’m just laying around listenting to it.

If you want you can take a listen here.


"Goodbye Sky Harbor"
"Is tomorrow just a day like all the rest."
How could you know just what you did?
So full of faith yet so full of doubt I ask.
Time and time again you said don't be afraid.
"If you believe you can do it."
The only voice I want to hear is yours.
Again.
I shall ask you this once again.
And again.
He said:
"I am but one small instrument."
Do you remember that?
So here I am above palm trees so straight and tall.
You are smaller, getting smaller.
But I still see you.
