I can’t listen to The Seekers’ Far Shore without tearing up. Judith Durham has one of the most amazing voices ever. :o
[/QUOTE]Also by The Seekers, The Carnival is Over
Goodbye isn’t always heart wrenching. Let’s lighten this thread up a little:
First one that popped into my head: You Can Close Your Eyes, by James Taylor.
I also think of this one as a goodbye song, or more accurately, someone coming to terms with goodbye: Winter, by Joshua Radin.
Goodbye to You (the version from Tabula Rasa, not the album version.)
(Here’s an obscure one)
Takin’ Up Space.
Leavin’ on a Jet Plane, Peter, Paul & Mary
Van Morrison: Madam George
Say goodbye in the wind and the rain on the back street
In the backstreet, in the back street
Say goodbye to Madame George
I’ll see your “Last Goodbye” and raise you Roger Whittaker’s “The Last Farewell”:
Kind of a corny song, IMHO, but it was freakin' **EVERYWHERE **in the spring of 1975!Actually, I think his “Durham Town” is a much better song:
“When Will I See You Again?” by The Three Degrees, one of the best Disco songs ever:
“Time to Say Goodbye”:
Sarah Brightman, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! :oScandal (with Patty Smyth), Goodbye To You
I’ll Hold Your Hand In Mine - Tom Lerher
I came here to say this one that ThelmaLou mentioned.
Love the harmony. And the melody.
Go And Say Goodbye – Buffalo Springfield
Manhattan’s Kiss and Say Goodbye. If you were alive in the mid '70s there was no escaping this song. Ever. I was a wee bairn at the time and my brain is scarred with this song.
I still kinda like it, though.
“who knows where the time goes” by Fairport Convention, quite delightful.
