A Sad Story but a Good Story (feat. Aaron Applause)

I'll tell you a story bro

It's a sad story but it was a good story

When I went to

My mothers, well my aunt's

Funeral in South Carolina

When we went in

It was, it was in a church

So we all sat down and you know, we're the close family so we sit down first

And as we sit down my aunt's casket's there

And in the corner is this old woman with a fan

Cos it's baking hot you know

So she's sort of wafting herself with the fan

You know and as she's sort of cooling herself down she starts to sing

And while she's singing she's just singing these sort of hymns

And as she sings them the people who are walking in the place start to sort of respond

So she's gives a little call out, and they respond

She's calls out again, and they respond

But what's really nice about the vibe is that it's all at a really cool pace

Nobody's rushing, nobody's doing anything, the lady's just looking at you singing her song

People behind us are responding

This is building the atmosphere of the church as you walk through the door.

As that starting to go and it sort of raises - it gets louder and louder and louder

The preacher starts to come on and he starts the sermon

A lot of funerals in the US are weird because they have people come up talking about the person that's dead

And this particular funeral there was all preachers

There's about five preachers in the back

Some who sing

Some who preach

Some who sing and preach

And they all go on and on and on

So as these guys start to sort of do their sermon and talk about my aunt

About how her life was and how influential she was to them

That woman would start chirping up again

And everyone in the back would start doing that call and response thing again

And then the choir would kick in and then you get the choir singing a beautiful gospel song

But because these songs are just sort of old gospel tracks

They just make your heart just soar man

It's just such a beautiful sound you know, hearing these people sing

And all organic bro, I like that word organic nowadays

Because it just makes you realise at how real it is when it comes out

No sugar on it, you know none of this sort of

You know, I don't know

TV show stuff, this is what people do

When they're in church

They listen to this music

They sing this music

All coming from the heart

And they believe it

Yeah, that's my aunt's funeral

It was beautiful

And you ask about a show, that was probably the best show I've been to in a long time

Cos it has a lot of connections in it

You know it was nice, it was just nice

A beautiful vibe
