That’ll Be The Day by Buddy Holly and The Crickets
I was about 13 or 14 when I first heard this song. I remember I was building a tiny hut on the casuarina tree outside our house and in my pocket, I had this broken walkman that my neighbor gave me. Everything was broken and the cassette ‘door’ was gone. I dissected the walkman and just messed around with its innards. Yes, sounds biological laa. I put the parts back together and it worked! Then, I took out a Buddy Holly cassette — I can’t remember whose cassette was it — and played this song while I built that silly hut. It went on till the battery died.
That’ll Be The Day
Well, that’ll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that’ll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you’re gonna leave, you know it’s a lie
‘Cause that’ll be the day when I die
Well, you give me all your lovin’ and your turtle dovin’
All your hugs and kisses and your money too
Well, you know you love me baby
Until you tell me, maybe
That some day, well I’ll be through
Well, that’ll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that’ll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you’re gonna leave, you know it’s a lie
‘Cause that’ll be the day when I die
[Instrumental Interlude]
Well, that’ll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that’ll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you’re gonna leave, you know it’s a lie
‘Cause that’ll be the day when I die
Well, when Cupid shot his dart
He shot it at your heart
So if we ever part and I leave you
You sit and hold me and you tell me boldly
That some day, well I’ll be blue
Well, that’ll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that’ll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you’re gonna leave, you know it’s a lie
‘Cause that’ll be the day when I die
Well, that’ll be the day, hoo-hoo
That’ll be the day, hoo-hoo
That’ll be the day, hoo-hoo
That’ll be the day
christine: I was a jiwang-er during my younger days. Polished it to the level of Total Eclipse of the Heart-ish in my adulthood. And these days I’m an established jiwang-er, listening to Wild Is The Wind-ish kinda thing.
