We Said Hello Goodbye
Tweet|
---- This album was released in February 1985, and I picked it up that summer. This was at the same time that I bought my first Compact Disc player from Radio Shack. Strangely enough, that CD player still works 21 years later. I popped the CD into my Mac and flipped through the tracks, settling on "We Said Hello Goodbye". I absolutely loved this album for the first few years I owned it, but this ballad at the end was usually a candidate for the "next track" button. However, today I let it play and I started grinning as I recalled the lyrics:
We said goodbye to a dear old friend And we packed our bags and left feeling sad It's the only way We said hello as we turned the key A new roof over our heads Gave a smile It's the only way Only way Now isn't that funny. Here's a song that one could interpret (at the most superficial level) as talking about moving from one house to another.... yep, it's ironic that I would settle on that track, of all the tracks on all of the albums that are flying past my eyes. So, I decided to say goodbye to the first CD that I ever purchased. Perhaps it will find a new owner tomorrow. Posted by Hammer at June 23, 2006 11:56 PM |
