Smile Because It Happened - White Stripes RIP (single)

by SHT Musik

/

about

My way of saying goodbye to the White Stripes, one of the most original bands in the last 20 years. "Don´t cry because it´s over, smile because it happened," is a timeless quote from Dr. Seuss. Those words are what inspired this song.

Check out the video on YouTube: youtu.be/3cD0ljoNMoc It´s got a ton of great shots of Meg and Jack through the years and it really came together nicely.

Enjoy.

lyrics

(Jack)
I don´t think that this band is ever gonna be that big, ya know? It´s only for two people to get even this attention. That´s pretty amazing, a two-piece band from Detroit to get some sort of attention like that. So, I don´t think it´s ever gonna be big like we´re gonna be playing arenas or anything like that.

You´ve had your fill of red and white
Sister brother, husband wife
And fairy tales under concert lights
Our heroes ride into the night

But as the wise doctor once said
As the wise doctor once said

Don´t cry because it´s over
Smile because it happened
Don´t cry because it´s over
Smile because it happened

Don´t cry, don´t go feelin´ sad
Smile at all the fun you had
No fear put your faith in love
Inner force or God above

Don´t cry
Smile

(Meg and Jack)
Gotta live in the present
I wish I could Meg. I really wish...
The past doesn´t really exist

Goodbyes always bitter sweet
Hard to let go the good ones you meet
The show was lovely such a treat
Thank you for the front row seats


Hey hey
Wish you could stay
But as the wise doctor would say

Don´t cry because it´s over
Smile because it happened
Don´t cry because it´s over
Smile because it happened

Don´t cry cuz the story´s done
Smile and start another one
No fear good times come and gone
Always darkest before the dawn

Don´t cry
Smile

Don´t cry
Smile
Smile
Don´t cry

Smile

(Jack)
It´s just time to end it, ya know?

about

SHT Musik Valencia, Spain

Like the Lettermen segment from whence comes the name of this project, these are my stupid human tricks. They are simple home recordings done almost always as a one-man band.
Mostly the songs are about the human condition, my personal trials and tribulations with inner demons and addictions, and anything else that I find interesting or amusing.
