16 May 99 - 01:37 PM (#78903) Subject: Who wrote 'So it Goes'? From: Chris Seymour (cslj@mindspring.com) I have been asked to sing a song called "So it Goes" at a wedding. Its chorus is "Ashes to ashes, dust into dust/ Buildings will crumble, bridges will rust/ Mountains will disappear, rivers will dry up/ So it goes with everything but love" Corny, I know, but *I'm* not choosing the music. I just want to know who made it up so I can assure proper (dis)credit. Anybody know? Care to reply to cslj@mindspring.com? Thanks |

The recording I heard is by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on Will the Circle be Unbroken 2 with John Denver on lead vocal. I believe this song belongs in my "Guilty Pleasures" repertoire (songs that I secretly love but would never admit to knowing) Michael |

Discogs says a bit more precise that the authors were Don Schlitz and Paul Overstreet. And Steve Tilston's And So It Goes on his same-named album of 1995 is a song written bei himself, not the Schlitz/Overstreet song. |
