Has anyone heard this song? I just recently broke up with my girlfriend of many years and Ive been listening to it a lot. Ed's lyrics are just so honest and the way he sings it is really moving. Does anyone else know of any other unreleased solo type stuff like this?


Goodbye:

i've got our love to remember
that will never change
i have you in my head
and no, i'll never hold you
and i'm still asking why
i guess that this is goodbye

my dreams suddenly seem so empty
i could go on my own, but i feel like playin' dead
and for what feels like the first time
i don't know where you are tonight
i guess that this is goodbye

we lived half our lives together
a hundred years is a lot of weight to bear
and the sun, it may be shining
but there's an ocean in my eyes
cause i know that this is goodbye
Those who dance are called insane by those who dont hear the music

    the words to it are fine, but the music on the ukele, and the melody (even tho its an improv) are way too upbeat and random. the accompanying music doesn't really make ya feel the lyrics. imo.

    K i thought the lyrics were average, until

    "and for what feels like the first time
    i don't know where you are tonight"

    That line hit me like a ton of bricks, what a horrible feeling it conveys.

    Check out Satellite, Longing to Belong, and what was that third one besides goodbye? All in the similar vein, and show, all awesome and unreleased.
