Song #19 – Hi5

So, life happens.  We cannot predict the occurrences in our lives, and though we may have realistic plans, it’s doubtless that things will interrupt these plans once in a while.  This week’s song is not part of the #100songs project because I’ve had personal stuff to deal with, the main thing being that my 8 year old daughter has been suffering from a couple different ailments, and I’ve had to keep her home from school a few days this week.  Family first, as they say.  I’m blessed to have her in my life, and she’s a great kid.  She was very understanding and even helped me a bit this week, but I still haven’t gotten anywhere near done with the song which I had set out to complete this week, “Garbage Night.”  A lot of people at recent concerts have loved that song, so I really wanted to get it done so those people could listen to it.  Alas!  It will have to wait till next week.  In searching for something to replace it, so I could at least make good on my song a week release promise, I discovered a handful of old 23 Psaegz songs which have not had their rightful release yet… They’re so old that we seldom play any of them, so I’m putting this one out.  It’s called “Hi5”.  It came from a misunderstanding between I and a friend that led to some negativity and turbulence (which is an unusual thing in my life.  I try to get along with people and remain kind through all circumstances, which most times works fine.)  I’m happy to say that this friend and I are getting along fine now!  This song has a special place in my heart.  I hope you will enjoy it!  It was mixed by Matt Broadstone and performed by 23 Psaegz including Payton Marovich, Laura Lee Jones, Brett Gobe, Carla Bartow, Joyce Britton, Shaun Jones, Regina Huynh, Neeti Fidurko, and Shannon Scally in 2011.

Opened the vent
An event for composing

Oh no, the anger, I’m sorry
It’s hard to see you as a real person
Oh no, not anger, I’m sorry
It’s hard to see you as a real person

This broken high five
You’re in there
I know you’re alive
Each broken high five
You’re in there
I know you’re alive

Get some wood glue
To clump the crack up
Glue together this broken five
We’ll slap our hands together
When it’s all over
Yeah it’s alright
Yeah it’s alright

You’re alive
You’ve just fallen down
Take some time
It will work it out
All in time
It will work it out

This broken high five
You’re in there
I know you’re alive
We’ll slap our hands together
When it’s all over
Yeah it’s alright
Yeah it’s alright

1-2-3-4-5…
