A song about 4 deaths... a 100 yr old, a 5 yr old, a 51 yr old, and, finally, the author. But done in such a cheery fashion!

SoundRabbit is a genre-smashing original rock quartet from Boulder, Colorado. The band seamlessly spans folk, world music, jazz, Latin, pop, indie, jam, and straight-ahead rock to create one of the most complete repertoires of original music in the Colorado music scene and, indeed, even nationally. Hands-down one of best live bands in Colorado, SoundRabbit’s live show lets this diversity shine, as fan favorites from the studio albums take on new life with improvised jams and alternate arrangements, and the setlists carry listeners through a myriad of genres. SoundRabbit’s music draws broad comparisons, from “old school Weezer” to Arlo Guthrie, Bon Iver, the Talking Heads, Ben Folds Five, Johnny Cash, Wilco, Led Zeppelin, Paul Simon, Dave Matthews Band, Elliot Smith, and Elbow, among others. The band formed in the summer of 2007 as a quartet, releasing their first album, This Room Becomes A Crowd, in November. A year of local shows and national touring followed, and then the band released their second album, Tree Trunk Airplanes, in 2009. They played over 100 local and national shows to support the album that year and then traveled to Charlottesville, Virginia to write and record a third full-band album, eventually titled Don’t Forget To Remember. The first tracks of the album were released in early 2012, and the full complete album is due in early 2013. In the interim, a live duo acoustic show was recorded in Boulder, Colorado and released as an official live album. SoundRabbit has shared the stage with artists including the Avett Brothers, Keller Williams, the Infamous Stringdusters, Band of Horses, Blitzen Trapper, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, TV on the Radio, Cowboy Mouth, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers, Ryan Montbleau Band, and others. They’ve appeared at venues nationwide, including Nectar’s in Burlington, Vermont; the Fox and Boulder Theatres in Boulder, Colorado; the Middle East in Boston, Rockwood Music Hall in New York City, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado; the main stage of the Tempe Music Festival in Tempe, Arizona, and countless others, large and small.

Lyrics
Emil laughs and downs his medicine a hundred years with few ahead of him i bring dessert the same as every day but now his face grows tired and he says you know, my dad he always used to say son, don't get old it's funny how today his words mean more to me than yesterday and with that, Emil went to sleep for good the bright lights flash no time to turn away five years old the stone will mark the day the sixth year passed without an hour of play the questions steal a mother's life away middle aged at 25 he sailed along in life, the future yet unveiled at 51, his final breath exhaled the chapter closed and left us reeling here i am here at the end of it here i am here at the end of it can i just have one moment more my wife is coming in the door i'd like to tell her...
