Story Behind The Song

Dealing with the unexpected loss of a best friend way too soon.

Lyrics

V1
Planet Parade

There's a birthday gift
That I wanted to give ya
But how could I ever have known

That there'd be no cake
No celebrating
I guess I'll just drink it alone

PC1
And think of you, lovely you
A supernova that faded too soon

CH1
And I say, Hey Now, What a sight
7 worlds all aligned
I'll never be the same, it's a tragedy that came
Like rain clouds on the night of a planet parade

V2
So I send you a card
From this dusty guitar
That I haven't picked up in years

But I had to play
'Cause I know what you'd say
You'd rather have music than tears

PC1
That's just you, lovely you
Yeah, that's what you taught me to do

CH2
And I say, Hey Now, What a sight
7 worlds all aligned
I'll never be the same, suddenly everything's changed
Like rain clouds on the night of a planet parade

BR
Like a cosmic event yeah, the day that we met
Now my axis is tipped and I miss you, my friend

CH3
I say, Hey Now! What a sight!
7 worlds all aligned
I'll never be OK, but your love's a brilliant ray
That cuts through the clouds like the light of a planet parade


And every time it rains
You somehow blow the clouds away
And give sight to your planet parade
yeah, your planet parade
