A song about music, friends and a life well lived.

VERSE 1

One cold bench and two red eyes
Felt that old hole inside.

One hand on my shoulder,
The other on a cane.

With a soft savoir faire
And a gentleman's air he explained:

“Excuse my intrusion,
I couldn’t help notice you crying”

I said:

“Sir how do you do this life thing, smiling?”

CHORUS

Well I found a passion in life my friend
And I recommend you do the same

We don’t know just where this ride will end
So I recommend you do the same

And I found a love with a love for life
And I recommend you do the same

It’s a long, long way
From the cradle to the grave,
Share some drinks,
Spend some time on the stage

VERSE 2

I would have left the bed
With a backflip lately,

If only my body could do it
And I didn’t do what they made me.

So while you’re young,
Experiment, stay crazy.

If there’s one rule in life:
No one gets out alive,
Don’t live safely

CHORUS 2

Well I found a passion in life my friend
And I recommend you do the same

We don’t know just where this ride will end
So I recommend you do the same

And I found a love with a love for life
And I recommend you do the same

It’s a long, long way
From the cradle to the grave,
Share some drinks,
Spend some time on the stage

Said I found a passion in life my friend
And I recommend you do the same

We don’t know just where this ride will end
So I recommend you do the same

And I found a love with a love for life
And I recommend you do the same

It’s a long, long way
From the cradle to the grave,
Share some drinks,
Spend some time on the stage

Purea Nei

It saved my life when I quit that job, cos I've been dying since I was born.

Together, The Grand Old Echo create their affectionately named 'City-Folk' sound - witty and poignant story telling about life, death and everything in between, delivered through triple harmonies and the occasional rap verse, all laid over a variety of traditional folk instruments.
