The '59 Sound Lyrics
And I wonder which song they're going to play when we go.
I hope it's something quiet mannered, peaceful, and slow. When we throw out into the ether. Into the everlasting arms. I hope we don't hear Marley's chains before July. Cause the chains I've been hearing now for most of my life. And the chains I've been hearing for most of my life. To hear the '59 sound coming through my Grandfather's radio. Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls? Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over? Did you hear your favorite song one last time? And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass. See I was playing a show down the road when your spirit left your body. And they told me on the front lawn, I'm sorry I couldn't go. But I still know the song and the words and the name and the reasons. And I know cause we were kids and we used to hang. And I know cause we were kids and we used to hang. To hear the '59 sound coming through my Grandfather's radio. Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls? Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over? Did you hear your favorite song one last time? Young boys........young girls. Young boys........young girls. Ain't supposed to die on a saturday nights. Ain't supposed to die on a saturday. Well they ain't supposed to die on a saturday night. Ain't supposed to die on a saturday night. To hear the '59 sound coming through my Grandfather's radio. Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls? Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over? Did you hear your favorite song one last time? Young boys.......young girls. Young boys.......young girls.

The song is about the death of a close friend. The singer is asking the deceased friend what he heard when he died. Somewhat the same line of thinking as the belief that we see a bright light through a tunnel when we pass, I think the singer is suggesting that there might be audible sensations as well...He is wondering if his friend heard his/her favorite song, if they heard the sound of the church choir singing at the funeral, etc.
The '59 sound is simply a reference to a genre or small collection of music, either from the 1959 timeframe, or music by Holly, Vallens, and Bopper, that brought back great memories of their childhood, when they used to hear that music coming through the radio of their grandparents.
