They consist of Tommy Jordan (vocals), Greg Kurstin (guitar, keyboards) and Daren Hahn (drums). The band has been inactive since 2001.

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.

Such a Beautiful Night
Geggy Tah Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's such a beautiful night
It's cold as hell the wind smells like disaster
The moon is full of gravity pulls the plaster off my
Face
Finally, I go up to an aster
Faster than even the wind
I fly
On such a beautiful night

The sky is empty with everything inside it
Outside it's such a beautiful night inside
It's such a beautiful night outside
It's such a beautiful night
Inside of the bellies of a heifer
It's such a beautiful night
It's cold as hell the wind smells like disaster
The moon is full of gravity pulls the plaster off my
Face

It feels good, the wind on my face
Disaster's a welcome change

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Geggy Tah's song "Such a Beautiful Night" is an intriguing mixture of beauty and chaos. The first line "It's such a beautiful night" sets the tone for the song, but the following line "It's cold as hell the wind smells like disaster" creates a sense of unease. The contrast between the beauty of the night and the scent of disaster in the air is jarring, yet it captures the contradictions of life. The reference to the moon's gravity pulling the plaster off the singer's face adds to the chaos and discomfort. Despite this, the singer finds a sense of freedom and excitement as they fly faster than the wind, taking in the beauty of the empty sky.
