Goodnight Everybody
from Bohacz & Frenz · host Bohacz & Frenz
If memory serves, this was the second song I ever wrote (the first was "Rusty, My Favorite Dog"). It was 1968 and I was ten years old. I specifically remember that when I heard the Beatles’ “Goodnight,” I thought to myself: I came up with my song first. This short version represents the state of the song as I left it when I originally created it. The lyrics cut off after “Listen to the birds sing everyday…” I imagined an elongated section that would repeat into a sunny dreamscape. I didn’t have the patience to compose the extension while young. Happily I have since recorded the song with the extended section. Here’s where you can hear the finished version: https://on.soundcloud.com/4sFgG4TJY5HhugNc6. Here’s a musical sketch: https://on.soundcloud.com/5XDwwVXA4tihE5em9.
