I was riding along as my wife drove the car. We were following the map and chasing down a good place to put kayaks in the water. Prior to leaving the house, I had been chatting on Discord to help figure out the basics of how to participate in this initiative, and when this song came on while we were driving I thought, I’m going to print this out super early in the morning and record it so I can get my submission in - I’m really glad this first-time-site-read came out as well as it did, and I’m very excited to be joining greats like MobeyDick on the Hive Music Festival circuit!
I chose this song because Anna Kendrick used this song as her audition in that a cappella movie, and hearing it in the car reminded me of my audition here with the Hive Music Festival! I thought her performance in this movie was incredible, and I hope I was able to bring my own authentic enthusiasm to this cover for the Festival!
LYRICS:
I got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle o' whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company And I'm leavin' tomorrow, what do you say?
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me by my hair You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh You're gonna miss me when I'm gone When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me by my walk You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
I got my ticket for the long way 'round The one with the prettiest of views It's got mountains, it's got rivers
It's got sights to give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere
Oh, you're sure gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
