about

A wry salute to the listener who makes it to the end of the disc.

lyrics

So you made it
You made it to the end, I see
Congratulations, felicitations, well done!
Some will never get beyond track two, or maybe three
So they’ll never ever get to hear this song
This song is a song all about itself
Not concerned with lives lived well or lives lived fast
It’s not about broken hearts or dreams that fade away
All that it’s about are the things that come in last

Sure, I guess top billing is the greatest place to be
With validation, the fascination of the world
But I gotta think at this late date it’s not the place for me
As long as I’m the last stop for one specific girl
If I’m the last one she kisses
When she’s turning out the light
Or the last one she blames when things go wrong
Well, I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t really mind
If she knows I’m singing ‘bout her when I’m singing this last song

So you made it, you made it
Thanks for hanging in
Such dedication deserves a big reward
But you’ll have to be satisfied
With my grateful grin
And know it’s really all I can afford

Thirteen years after 2004’s “Could’ve Been King," Blair Packham returned with a collection of clever and heartfelt songs, called “Unpopular Pop.” A bit Beatle-y, with shades of Elvis Costello, Blair’s songs are undeniably all his. He made the record at home and then called on Ron Sexsmith and ex-Barenaked Ladies’ Steven Page to make vocal appearances. ... more
