lyrics

we'll remember you forever, eddie
through the sacrifice you made
we can't believe the price you paid
for love

little eddie mitty born in jersey city
started singing when he was five
never knew his father mother didn't bother
to catch his last name fast as he came
he was off and flying
times were really trying
eddie and his mother alone
soon another mister soon a baby sister
mama kept swinging and eddie kept singing

and now, the tragic story
eddie's sister, mary louise, needed an operation
to get the money he would have to become an overnight sensation

eddie believed the american people
had wonderful, love-giving hearts
his well publicized end he considered would send
his memorial album to the top of the charts and it did

when a young singer dies to our shock and surprise
in a plane crash or flashy sports car
he becomes quite well known
and the kindness he's shown has made more than one post mortem star

well, you did it eddie
and though it's hard to applaud suicide
you gave all you could give so your sister could live
all america's choked up inside

we'll remember you forever eddie
through the sacrifice you made
we can't believe the price you paid
for love

his work is outta this world! it's the kind of thing that I need to actually sit down and focus on cause it's so good at transporting you away from where you are. music is power, and this is proof! ella cesari

the girls are always fighting
by pretty nothing

(chef's kiss) 100% bops and they're really nicely composed and musically diverse. if one song isn't to your taste the next one will be, they all ooze appeal ella cesari
