“Goodnight, Sweetheart” Video Released!
November 8, 2024

“Goodnight, Sweetheart” were the last words Lily Sazz’s dying mother Eva spoke soon before she slipped away. It took more than a year before Lily could utter these words without choking up, let alone write the song she knew had to cathartically emerge. The conversational lyrics pose eternal and universal questions asked by both the dying and those who remain behind, along with the profound pain of letting go and saying goodbye. The rawness of emotion in this live performance is palpable. The beauty in the simplicity of the arrangement that builds to a dramatic climax near the end, until finally coming to rest, echoes what the final hours sometimes look like. Prepare to be moved, and take a moment to think of your loved ones, past and present.

“Goodnight, Sweetheart” was filmed live off the floor at Hamilton’s Mule Spinner at The Cotton Factory, with help from friend Don Oakie on acoustic guitar, and an intimate audience of family and friends. Recorded by Glen Marshall (@steadycanoe)and filmed by Nathan McCrory (@BackRowCentre).
