Soundcloud link GOODBYE Bandcamp link GOODBYE I know it's a title that's been overused and probably used several times in this forum. I've had this one in my back pocket for a while but have been reluctant to share because I've only got one BIAB track involved. Nevertheless, I decided to share because of the amount of work that has gone into producing it! This one was inspired by my co-writer Ron Helm's past work as a hospice chaplain and in particular individuals he has ministered to who strongly emphasized that they didn't want their loved ones worrying about them because they were ready for what lay ahead of them! I played all instruments with the exception of the BIAB Cajon Folk Slow 8's Realdrums track which was used in the verses and first and second chorus I also used EZ Keys for the main electric piano track and Drums On Demand I still have work to do on the vocal effects and some mixing. Ron and I are both so appreciative of your time to listen and comment! Goodbye Torrey Bliss/Ron Helm ©2025 Glass Gate Music BMI The sadness fades As you start a brand new day The sunrise comes and it takes you away I know that time is sleeping And slipping away Our last breath here Will be our first breath there Goodbye don't cry I'll be alright I'll wait there for you Where we'll walk in the light Now and then Sometimes you will think of me I'll show up in ways That only you can see Though time slips away You'll still see reflections of me Look up believe with Jesus Is where I'll be Goodbye don't cry I'll be alright I'll wait there for you Where we'll walk in the light It may seem you're near the end of the road Just know it's not the end We're not walking alone The Lord is taking you to A place that we can't comprehend Goodbye don't cry I'll be alright I'll wait there for you Where we'll walk in the light

Pretty good song, reminds me of someone, but I just can't figure out who. Although you claim that you still need to work a little more on the mixing, the song is already in pretty good shape. And your vocals and playing are really good. Minor things I would probably look at: - The intro is ace, but it doesn't relate to the rest of the song. I would remove it and save it for a song that it fits better with sonically. - The vocals have a slight but sometimes distracting distortion in the high frequency range. But, as I said, it's already very good and I like it ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Torrey,
You have a real touch with intricate and complex melodic lines. No one does it better. Love the playing, production and the way you frame the message for this excellent song. Your singing is really strong - one of your best vocals.
GREAT!
Bob

Hi Torrey,
Yes, we did a song called Goodbye many years ago. Very different than yours of course!
Love your melody lines, and that bass line is fabulous. Not too shabby on the guitar either! Excellent vocal!
Good song, enjoyed the listen!

A very nice intro, and the rest is also very good. Excellent work on the vocals and accompaniment.
I enjoyed listening to it.

It avoids a sudden harsh launch into the vocals and is a foreshadowing of the arpeggiated guitars in the chorus! TB

Caramba! I had no idea you'd passed on, Torrey!  "Just know it's not the end" is exactly right. Great song all around.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.
