My Last Goodbye on Soundcloud
My Last Goodbye on YouTube


A song possibly about regrets, but mostly about love. In nearly every song I write, it seems, the melody is a bit different in each verse. It's usually very subtle, but in this one it is quite obvious. It's the last song on an album that lands on streaming channels on the 7th.

My Last Goodbye

There's just no way that I explain there are no words to try.
I leave you my love, but still it's a shame
I never got to say my last goodbye

We all go on ready or not. No special rules for the chosen apply.
To the folks that left before me, and the ones I left behind,
I never got to say my last goodbye.

We often need little more time before we're off with our harps in the sky.
As for me I need to whisper to all my planet mates,
"Thanks for the trip," and throw by last goodye.

Goodbye to trees and rocks that grow with them.
Goodbye to the seas and the clouds in the sky.
I love what you gave me in colors and rhythm.
I bow to all my last goodbye.

With all my love I drown out regrets,
and all the wrongs I forgive and deny.
Remeber how I meant it and please don't question why
I never got to say my last goodbye.

Let's go on together and never ever part.
There's no space or time for us to rely upon.
To the folks that left before me, and the ones I left behind,
I never have to say my last goodbye.
