Goodbye is the sound of things falling away quietly, without ceremony. Sung by Alan D. Boyd, the track is a stark, elegiac piece shaped by personal loss: the end of a marriage, the death of a father, the slow erosion of trust. The band holds the space carefully: guitars drift, drums drive at a distance, and the vocal sits close, unguarded.

There is no clear resolution here. Just a series of recognitions: that grief is shapeless, that memory distorts, that some things don’t return.

​

"I kept going forward

 I never looked back

I kept falling down

I’m lost on this track.”

The refrain of Goodbye repeats not for emphasis, but because it’s all that’s left to say.

Written and recorded as an improvisation by the band, the song is deliberately raw captured in a form that resists polish or performance. It’s not an anthem, but a letting go. An attempt to name what can’t be put back together.
