Goodbye Joel Dobbins Forever Girl

Back Story:

"This is the only song on the EP that wasn't recorded in 2019, everything except the vocals and drums were recorded back in 2012 with more primitive lyrics. For instance, in the original lyrics I used "Dreamweaver" which was a leading program we all used at that time to make websites as part of my career. Josh Whalan added a vinyl cracking sound at the start which inspired the use of sound effects on the starts and ends of songs on my follow up release "Freedom". This is one of my favourite early recorded songs of mine, the performance was at the time very good for me. The original demo I had done included vocals that were incredibly scratchy as at the time I had bronchitis, but despite this I was so inspired to at least get that demo vocal recorded so I could get down my idea on recording, and when doing this EP, I rerecorded all vocals from scratch."

Lyrics:

Now now now it shouldn't be too bad
We are all we we ever had
Don't cry now there's time time later
Don't become a lost fater

Come on now you know what I mean
If it wasn't true I wouldn't ask you to
So put on your clogs over your socks
Dreamer, didn't think I'd ever leave her

Goodbye goodbye goodbye
Goodbye you will fly again one day
Goodbye tell me what more can we say
Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Come on now you know what I mean
If it wasn't true I wouldn't ask you to
So put on your clogs over your socks
Dreamer, didn't think I'd ever leave her

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Goodbye goodbye goodbye
Goodbye you will fly again one day
Goodbye tell me what more can we say
Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Escape this deep down down for now
I know for sure the winds will blow
Blow down low as the song we know
Come the day when you will glow

Goodbye goodbye goodbye
Goodbye you will fly again one day
Goodbye tell me what more can we say
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
