Livi Jacobs - Goodbye

Goodbye - Livi Jacobs (Soft Rock) Well this is an extremely refreshing thing—a unique subject matter! A true story song, Livi Jacobs tells a multi-generational story of loss, moving throughout her life to capture three significant goodbyes in her life—a childhood friend, a spouse and then the passing of her mother. While a beautiful lilting melody and driving instrumental—very Sheryl Crow (think “Picture” or “Good is Good”)—the true star of the song is the superb lyrics and brilliant storytelling. As we move from vignette to vignette, the cuts get deeper, until the very person who taught her about dealing with goodbyes (and there to comfort through them) bids her own adieu. This record stays with you.

Best Lyric: “Mama told where’s the good in goodbye.”
