The core of Geggy Tah comprises Greg Kurstin and Tommy Jordan. Each of them has a younger sister who was unable to pronounce her brother's name when very young; "Geggy" and "Tah" were the baby girls' mispronunciations of their brother's names.
Geggy Tah's first release, Grand Opening, appeared in 1994 on David Byrne's Luaka Bop label. For their 1996 release Sacred Cow, they added drummer Daren Hahn to the lineup. Also on Luaka Bop, the album spawned the hit single "Whoever You Are." The song appeared in a Mercedes commercial circa 2001.
In 1999, the band announced a new album entitled Music Inspired by The Fragrance, and released two songs ("Space Heater" and "Sweat") on the web in mp3 format. However (in part because of Luaka Bop's move from Warner Brothers to Virgin Records) the album went unreleased until 2001, by which point it had acquired a new title: Into The Oh.
I'll Find My Way
Geggy Tah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing stops pure persistence
Excuse me if I am insistent
Searching for my find.
I lost a love a long time ago
I gave it up too easily you know
Now I am glowing lava flow
Obstacles subside
I'll find my way around it
I'll find my way around it
I'll find my way around
To the low
Look out here I come like a snowball
Getting larger with every fall
Soon I'll be twenty five feet tall
And still picking up mass
I'll become an avalanche
You know that big people can really dance
If you're not afraid to take chances
Someday you'll arrive
I'll find my way around it
I'll find my way around it
I'll find my way around
To the low
I'll find my way around it
I'll find my way around
I'll find my way around
To the love
Loveydovey Louie Louie
Gnawing on nostalgic hooey
Is it all one big booby-trapping all our minds
Away away there is a prison
Where pathos paves a dull incision
I'd rather root canal a vision
And undermine the grind
I'll find my way
Around to the love
A tout a l'heurre
The lyrics of Geggy Tah's song "I'll Find My Way" speak of perseverance, determination, and resilience. The singer takes the path of least resistance but remains insistent in searching for what they lost, which is possibly love. They speak of having given up too easily in the past but now feel like a glowing lava flow, where obstacles can no longer stop them. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'll find my way around it," emphasizing the importance of overcoming obstacles in finding one's way.
The second verse starts with a simile, comparing the singer to a snowball getting larger with every fall. It speaks of becoming an avalanche, a force to reckon with, and emphasizes that big people can dance, but they must not be afraid of taking chances. The last line of the verse says that someday, one will arrive, indicating that the singer has faith in their ability to succeed.
The third verse uses wordplay and alliteration to speak of nostalgic memories that can sometimes trap people's minds. The singer speaks of a prison where pathos paves a dull incision, implying that dwelling on past memories can be damaging. Instead, they'd rather have a root canal of their vision and undermine the grind. The song ends with the singer reiterating that they will find their way around everything and eventually find their love.
