So Many Plans Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And we had so many plans
Leap from the sill, see where we land
We had so many plans
Safe from the wind, head in the sand

[Verse 2]
And we had so many friends
This had to end, it had to end
And we had so many friends
Maybe we'll see them again

[Chorus]
We said so long, we sat alone
We sat along
We said it all, we said it low
We said it all

[Verse 3]
We had so many plans
This had to end, this had to end
We had so many friends
This had to end, this had to end

[Chorus]
We said so long, we sat alone
We sat along
We said it all, we said it low
We said it all

What have the artists said about this song?

I liked that this song struck a balance between the feelings of acceptance, hope and giving up. The lyric came from a covid-times lament that rolled effortlessly into a kind of short lullaby. The instruments were somewhat unusual for me at the time, having dusted off a baritone uke I never used before to join the album’s primary instruments of either pump or church organ and the modular synthesizer as percussion and bass.
