about

"I discovered Steady Holiday’s “So Long” on a playlist of Wes Anderson songs. As it turns out, it isn’t featured in any of his movies, but I still fell in love with the song. It tells the story of ending a relationship but in the most romantic way possible. It’s a love song for someone you are losing, for someone you are choosing to leave. There’s something very profound about that space. The strangeness of it; somehow hopeful and sad all at the same time. My arrangement draws from the hopeful and compassionate sentiment of the song. It’s the most traditionally “jazzy” tune on the record, channeling the joyful sounds of New Orleans in a reminder to celebrate life, even during its more difficult moments. Gil Defay captured this sentiment effortlessly in his joyous and cheery trumpet solo." -Marty Isenberg

lyrics

You deserve a song so long, it plays behind the hurt
Beyond the tears, beyond the courtesy of elementary melodies
And chord progressions much like these

To love and be loved, who'd have thought it'd be so mysterious?
It would be painful without bruises and subject to who chooses
To pull the plug and hope that no one sinks

You deserve a song so long, it plays beyond the fade
Beyond the place where all our memories repeat into eternity
Preserving them so bittersweet, for better or worse

What's the harm in a little disillusion?
A little rosy hue and a drink to see it through
To separate my logic from my ways

I can and I will, and I can and I will move on
And you can and you will, and you can and you will move on
You deserve a song so long and crafted with hands of love and capability

So I'll retire, I'll keep it brief
Admiring you lovingly
So long, so long, so long


Lyrics by Andrea "Dre" Babinski
