I recently posted a number of videos that promote my new album Bittersweet Parade by discussing and explaining the behind the scenes perspective. I’m taking each song, one-by-one and giving it some time in the spotlight. Enjoy the collective media behind Great Man’s Funeral – track #4 off of my new album Bittersweet Parade.

LYRICS TO “GREAT MAN’S FUNERAL” by TYLER STENSON

There’s only one thing certain in this life;
If you breathe, one day you will die.
With any luck, they’ll show up in a line
Making sure that your memory is soaked in wine.

It’s a great man’s funeral;
His passing is a bittersweet parade.

I do believe you’re gone before your time
And that my days in your sunshine were kind
And the education gained along the way
Was good as gold and all its accolades.

It’s a great man’s funeral;
His passing is a bittersweet parade.
Somewhere on this great timeline
I’m confident they’ll call this a Golden Day.

I’m a better man for bleeding almost dry-
My bag of bones is a medal of that pride.
I can’t believe we lived to tell how we survived
(Cause it seems to me) we starved 40 days and nights.

It’s a great man’s funeral;
His passing is a bittersweet parade.
Somewhere on this great timeline
I’m confident they’ll call this a Golden Day.

If there was ever one thing certain in this life;
If you breathe, one day you will die.
But look at them all standing in a line
Making sure that your memory is soaked in wine.

It’s a great man’s funeral;
His passing is a bittersweet parade.
Somewhere on this great timeline
I’m confident they’ll call this a Golden Day.

It’s a great man’s funeral;
His passing is a bittersweet parade
And the simple fact I knew him when
Will long and always be my claim to fame.

As of October 15th, I am officially taking the plunge into all things music. Yep, come Wednesday, I no longer have the day job and I’m excited and committed to making music my livelihood. This is obviously a big commitment but if music is what I love; it’s what I should do.

RIP db clay… truly a great man’s funeral.

That said, I’m publicly and proudly making myself available for all things music. I’m focusing on private events and intimate gatherings so as the Holidays approach, if you or anyone you know is wanting to host a party, a concert, a dinner party, a wedding, an employee appreciation night, a living room serenade or anything of the sort, consider me yours. I plan on traveling a lot so no destination is too far.

If you want my body and you think I’m sexy, come on baby book me now!

I have a million ideas in my head about how to make this road prosperous. I’ll be spending the next months writing, recording, seeking management, spamming people, playing in your living room and building my presence nationwide… wish me luck!

Thank you for your continued support and wish me luck in the musical baptism; on that day, we are all things music.
