i kind of knew i would love this song before i even heard it. the title struck me as the perfect name for a pop song. if you've never heard the original, check out best coast here: www.myspace.com/bestycoasty
This song's about getting through hard times, together. I wrote the melody on the piano in my front room, and i've been walking around with in my head for a couple months. Took me a while to get the words down.
If you listen closely, you can hear my 7 year old son Jackson shredding along on his little red flying v, towards the end.
here are the lyrics:
Evangeline The storm is over now I love the way The sun burns through the clouds I'm still the same I'm still the kid you knew For all we've lost
Evangeline I hear the breaking waves I'm drifting off I swear I'm not afraid Down by the shore Everyone's rushing round I'm standing still
Evangeline You are my sweetest friend We can't stay here Can't go back home again I turned my back Remembering everything Must find its way
Evangeline You've seen me through it all The pavement shines The cherry blossoms fall Our love will grow My heart is keeping time Evangeline
