Sun Kil Moon - Sarah Lawrence College Song lyrics

Sarah Lawrence College song, this is my
Sarah Lawrence College song, this is my
Sarah Lawrence College song, this is my
Sarah Lawrence College song

8: 02 AM, April 25th, 2016, New York
Everything went fine at
Sarah Lawrence College
While I was on stage I
Asked the kids to educate
Me on what exactly it is
That they study there a person shouted:
"We do whatever the hell we want"
I replied, "Well
That's what I've been doing all my life"
I asked what their parents paid for
Them to do whatever the
Hell they want and a girl
In the front row said: "$60, 000 a year"
I said, "Well

That's what Walmart pays me to use my music
In commercials and that maybe I could
Go to their school one day too 'cause
They all seem like really nice people"
I explained that Kirk Hammett
From Metallica went
To college after Metallica made it
Which was met with a thud
A nice girl named Sophie played
Piano on a few songs with us because my mic
Couldn't reach the piano
She played the four notes
On "Richard Ramirez"
And "Carry Me Ohio" really, really, well
That was a lot of fun
We also played "When Doves Cry"
In honor of Prince
Who died the night before
Steve Shelley played drums with
Me that night, by the way
What a great drummer
Steve's also a really nice guy
Great acoustics in the room and
The show went really well
And we got out of there by midnight
What a cool group of kids and
A nice promoter named Max
It was the first show he ever promoted and
He gave me a check in an envelope
Which I actually didn't open until
Just now here in
My New York hotel three nights after the gig
This is what his note said:

"Dear Mark, first of all thank you so much
For playing Sarah Lawrence College
Even though we have a really small
School and don't get much attention
We have a really lot of passionate
Kids i know every single
One of them is thrilled to have you come your
Music means so much to so
Many i first heard your
Music when I was searching
Songs about Los Angeles
For a project in high school
I was fifteen or sixteen
And I came across "Cruiser"
And it changed everything
For me it was the music I
Had been searching for for a long
Time some people say your music
Makes them sad and that you make
Sad music I don't know
I guess I disagree your music was and is
A comfort to me i feel a sort
Of connection to it that is less a
Melancholic thing but more a reassuring thing
I was taking a seven-hour train across
The state of New York i

Listened to the entirety of Benji and
Red House Painters I back-to
Back i thought of a lot of
Things when I listened to
Those records and somehow it brought
Me ease to know someone
That was thinking some of those same
Things it was calming and even
Though I'm writing this letter before
You even take the stage
I know the scene you perform tonight
Will be one of my
Most enjoyable moments so thank you
Again so much for coming
I hope you had a nice time
And I hope this letter finds you well
Looking forward to the next record, the Jesu
Sun Kil Moon LP was great and
Hopefully I can see you
Again on November 10th in Brooklyn
Best wishes and thanks again max"
