IT'S TIME TO SAY "GOODBYE"
It's time to leave our comfort zone, and start our journey.
Song 1: Goodbye
So you've decided to leave your comfort zone with us huh?? That's awesome. Good for you.
​
Over the next nine days we are going to go on this journey together where you will see (and hear!) the story of our album "I Left Home". The album is essentially about my brother and I's decision to completely change our lives, and chase an impossible dream of making it as a band. It's a story of many ups and downs, but maybe you can relate? I hope it will inspires you on your own journey to go for it in life. You only get one after all...
​
Ready??
I think it's time to say goodbye, I've been thinking about it every night, there ain't nothing that can change my mind
- Goodbye
Story Behind the Song
It was 3 in the morning and I had just had a really nasty fight with my girlfriend of 8 years. Long story short, we broke up. And even amongst all the immense rage and pain I was feeling, I still knew in that moment that it was time to leave my old life. I had been thinking about it for a long time, and there was nothing to keep me there any more. I called up my brother (and bandmate) Steven who was living in a different state asked "hey man, want a roommate?" I packed up my shit and was gone the next day.
​
"Goodbye" is all about making that difficult decision to just go for it. Yeah you're scared and it feels so uncomfortable, but we all have that voice in our head that tells us the truth. For me, my truth was that I wanted to challenge myself more in life, and to chase an impossible dream. Even if that meant likely failing along the way. I had such a weird feeling of excitement and bitterness when I left, and the song reflects that 💙

Lyrics:
Your crucifix and politics well they're not for me
I know your pissed the same old shit
Are words that you speak
No this ain't a goodnight
This is the last time we fight
So shut your lips I'm sick of it and listen to me
I think it's time to say goodbye
I've been thinking bout it every night
There ain't nothin that can change my mind yeah
Goodbye goodbye
I think it's time to say goodbye yeah
I've been thinking bout it every night and
There ain't nothin that can change my mind yeah
Goodbye goodbye
Your dollar signs and fancy rides well they aren't for me
All of it is empty shit
And things I don't need
No this ain't a goodnight
This is the last time we fight
So shut your lips I'm sick of it and listen to me
I think it's time to say goodbye yeah
I've been thinking bout it every night and
There ain't nothin that can change my mind yeah
Goodbye goodbye and
I ain't scared no more
Watch me walking out the door
I think it's time to say goodbye yeah
Goodby goodbye
If I don't get up off this floor
Then I'll just end up wanting more
There's gotta be more to life than this
Than this
Your crucifix and politics well they aren't for me
I think it's time to say goodbye yeah
I've been thinking bout it every night and
There ain't nothin that can change my mind yeah
Goodbye goodbye
I think it's time to say goodbye
I've been thinking bout it every night and
There ain't nothin that can change my mind yeah
Goodbye goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
