The reason for goodbye are endless (growing apart, moving, a breakup, a fight, death, etc) and the people/places you say goodbye to are endless too (family, friends, job, town, etc).
But what songs do people listen to that are about saying goodbye? I know the choices are pretty long but what are people’s favorites?
I like
Into the West
WOL*D
Cat’s in the Cradle
Taxi
Aaaand now I’m sad. Dammit, Harry…
Stars by Grace Potter. Very sad.
“Goodbye” by Jane Siberry
The happiest breakup song ever - Love Done Gone.
I can’t listen to The Seekers’ Far Shore without tearing up. Judith Durham has one of the most amazing voices ever. :o
Alma Mater – Alice Cooper
‘It Must Have Been Love’, by Roxette
Your Face Is Not Enough - 3 Blind Mice
nice piano driven pop music
Train In Vain - The Clash
There have been many versions of “I’ll Be Seeing You,” but this is one of the prettiest:
This is my favorite version of "You Belong to Me": I think this one also qualifies as a "Good-Bye!" song:
Not goodbye to people, but Goodbye To Love
I Miss My Friend-Darryl Worley
“Saying Goodbye” from The Muppets Take Manhattan is pretty lovely.
“Last Goodbye” by Jeff Buckley
Here’s where I’m a buzzed pedantic shit:
Is WOLD really about saying goodbye? Seems it belongs more in a class with “Operator” and “Telephone Line”
Green Day’s Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)
Sure.
Time - Alan Parsons Project
