So this is goodbye.
Thanks so much to everyone who left such supportive messages on my post yesterday. They really warmed my heart and are appreciated more than I can express.
I am sure gonna miss our regular Friday get togethers.
At least Janet can rest knowing that no ABBA songs are lurking under the next link.
It’s apt that the theme for our last music bants comes via esteemed Broadsheet Trailer Park supervisor Andy Pipkin, who writes:
“So with the heaviest of hearts, my last suggestion for The Last Quiz: ‘What’s your favourite song that mentions Goodbye or Farewell or Thank You?’ Here’s mine.”
Thanks Andy.
And here’s mine.
You know the drill: Please include video links if possible.
Lines stay open until Sunday at 5pm.
Parting is such sweet sorrow,

I thought it fitting to keep the mood Irish because no-one does maudlin and lachrymose better than Paddy.
Well Northern Irish anyway.
Energy Orchard were one of the great London bands back in the day holding court at the Mean Fiddler, Claphan Grand, The Borderline with a talented lead singer and songwriter Bap Kennedy.
They never hit the big time but what a sound.
This one’s for Bodger.
Good times chief. See you again soon.
Charger
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfqY5w_srXA
I might as well get this out of the way considering time is short, Charger, but I’ve always thought you’d make an authentic Ian Bailey.
Sadly I have no recollection of you or any of your posts on Broadsheet.
You might as well have been invisible, Mr Cellophane™.
Fnarr fnarr.
Hiding in plain sight.
let’s make it the best music thread ever so
I will give fair warning, but I do have one ABBA song, for which I ask advance forgiveness :)
all is forgiven
I too posted it, but it vanished.
It’s a conspiracy methinks.
https://youtu.be/0dcbw4IEY5w
Thank you Lush for your many kind words over the years about some of my song choices, it means a lot!
Take care and hopefully we’ll be back soon in some form!
X
The pleasure was all mine Andy; you broadened my musical horizons for which I am forever grateful.
Hope this is not adieu, but only au revoir.
nooooo more conspiracy theories !
You can run, but you can’t hide.
just because they’re after you….don’t mean you’re not paranoid…or something :)
Well Missy,
It’s been a pleasure having our little banters over the years!
Look after yourself and the family and I’ll see you soon!
In the meantime I think it’s only apt that I leave you on this one!
A dedication to you and Nick,
https://youtu.be/0dcbw4IEY5w
See you soon!!
right back at ya Andy, I knew I forgot someone in my shout-out
and ( shudders ) thanks for the song ;)
You’re more than welcome!!

Ok, that was the one i was going to warn you about (thanks, Andy :D )
As such I shall no longer leave you in fear of my posts ;)
phew, it’s best to get the worst out of the way ;) before I have had wine ;)
Jeff Buckley – The Last Goodbye
https://youtu.be/tl0uN6aBqeQ
Thank you for the music Nick (intentional ABBA reference). I looked forward to this every Friday and it was a real tonic during lockdowns to share and discover everyone’s favourite tunes under all the many and varied themes. I was also lucky enough to win your esteem on a couple of occasions. It was nice to be a winner.
In my fantasy rock n roll supergroup of all time Jeff Buckley would be my singer. I have heard no one before or since to match him. Like Broadsheet we only had him for a relatively short time. The song implies that the goodbye isn’t forever. So rather than the Broadsheet posse wading into the Mississippi for the final time you all will emerge again in a different form to entertain, delight and anger us in equal measure.
i’d have left a really nice post but for a reason unknown to me my posts have not appeared for months
permabanned I am, would love to understand why.
anyway, sad to see you guys go, thought you ran a great scroll.
best of luck and much love
Hey baz good to catch you again. Take it easy lad.
I would have to suggest Roger Whittaker and The Last Farewell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGWs1HK8iDU&t=1s
I have used lines from this song as I said farewell to friends and teams I had worked with. Today that line is apt, “far away from your land of endless sunshine to my land full of rainy skies and gales”, as the weather beats against my window in a reflection of pathetic fallacy
For you are all beautiful!
Edit: fantastic headline to go out on!
My posts keep disappearing.
I think they’ve already cancelled their internet contract.
Loved this song when I was a kid.
it’s like a rocket ship that starts having systems fail as it approaches (the sun/ an asteroid/ the aliens).
sorry to hear this. you guys deserve credit for putting your heads on the block putting out info about covid especially. I am reading your site for years and will miss it very much. I would like to contribute a few quid to you if you can provide details I will do so.
Thank you.

Jamais la fin d’été n’avait parue si belle
Les vignes de l’année auront de beaux raisins
On voit se rassembler, déjà les hirondelles
Mais il faut se quitter, pourtant, l’on s’aimait bien
Quel joli temps pour se dire au revoir
Quel joli soir pour jouer ses 20 ans
Sur la fumée des cigarettes
L’amour s’en va, mon cœur s’arrête
Quel joli temps pour se dire au revoir
Quel joli soir pour jouer ses vingt ans
Les fleurs portent déjà les couleurs de septembre
Et l’on entend, de loin, s’annoncer les bateaux
Beau temps pour un chagrin que ce temps couleur d’ambre
Je reste sur le quai, mon amour à bientôt
Quel joli temps, mon amour, au revoir
Quel joli temps pour jouer ses 20 ans
Sur la fumée des cigarettes
L’amour nous reviendra peut-être
Peut-être un soir, au détour d’un printemps
Ah quel joli temps, le temps de se revoir
Jamais les fleurs de mai n’auront paru si belles
Les vignes de l’année auront de beaux raisins
Quand tu me reviendras, avec les hirondelles
Car tu me reviendras, mon amour, à demain
That’s just perfect.

The Pogues – Leaving of Liverpool / Fare Thee Well, My Own True Love
“Fare thee well to you, my own true love,
There were many fare thee wells
I am bound for California,
A place that I know right well
So fare thee well, my own true love,
For when I return, united we will be
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,
But my darling when I think of thee”

I’ve only this to say to you know why
Good bye, bye bye
My loneliness endears it but so do I
Good bye, bye bye
You’d think by now that somehow
You’d have changed
Long range no change
Forget me now you know how I will you
Will you please do?
I’ve only this to say to you know why
Good bye, bye bye
Forget me now you know how I will you
Will you please do?
I don’t know why
Sometimes I lie
Other times I tell the truth
Sometimes even out of spite
I’m uncouth

ok, one more before i head home from work, not that i did much today except check on the comments for most of the day. i’m going to really miss our friday tunes club. i always felt if there was ever to be a broadsheet meet up, it would be this, in a pub, and we all took turns to pick a tune and talk about music.
anyway, here’s the pogues, ‘sally maclennane’:

Bob Dylan – Don’t Think Twice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iHhWh9FtsQ
A bittersweet ending indeed with music putting tone and melody around lyrics as they fall like tresses and swirl about the face of the heady farewell to musical alms.
When the curtain has been called and the players have bowed and taken their gratitude I hope this tune will be a balm, not necessarily a song about goodbyes but so what.
Anyway, here’s the glorious Be Good Tanyas and “Ship Out On The Sea” – calm waters all !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4pKjCg25vQ
“plant me in the garden
don’t you let me roam
cuz love is a feeling like a warm dark stone”
Ah nuts… that theme… kinda hurt, like I’m still in denial and it’s hammering it home to me :/
Anyhoo… after some deliberation, I have settled on the Overmono remix of For Those I Love’s brilliant poetic piece ‘I Have A Love’….
And this verse I think is quite apt :)
“I have a love, and it never fades
Full of plights and gripes, like Achilles
Who loves fights?
Like you did, right?
And we did, twice
I will love you beyond life”
https://youtu.be/nJkDcmOqYWY

That’s a cracking tune there Clampers.

Time for a Change – by Split Enz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHdDWG5TI-w
Wonderful Lyrics –
You act as though
You are a blind man who’s crying
Crying about
All the virgins that are dying
In your habitual dreams
You know, seems you need more sleep
But like a parrot in a flaming tree
I know it’s pretty hard to see
I’m beginning to wonder
If it’s time for a change
But still you try like a fat boy
Dancing Gershwin’s Blues
But you’d rather sit at home
And watch the news
And I’m beginning to wonder
If it’s time for a change
I’m beginning to wonder
If it’s time for a change …
Monster Magnet have always been a favourite of mine. Love the title I’m God.

I tried to do some good
I gave you Hollywood
I let you put nails in my feet
I let you play around
I let you have your sound
And then you peed right in my creak
What am I ‘sposed to do
You know I don’t need you
I could have danced a different strut
But I let you track
And what do I get back
A big pile of fuppin’ up
You know I hate to fail
But I need to bail
I’m not afraid to use my might
So get your red dress on
And you can party it down
I’ll give you the big goodnight
‘Cause I’m God
If you’re looking for who to blame
I’m God
And I’m ridin’ a river of flame
I’m God
And nobody gets a free ride
I’m God
And you’re lucky to be alive
I’m God
And I ain’t gonna take no blame
I’m God
And I’m ridin’ a river of flame
I’m God
And you know that I never lie
I’m God
And I’m thinkin’ of sayin’ goodbye
One for the lads to shout defiantly when the dust settles

Dead Can Dance – Ulysses
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bXZY9tRdLA
John Francis Dooley
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
And embrace the light
You have slept now
For a thousand years
Beneath starless nights
And now it’s time for you
To renounce the old ways
And see a new dawn rise
In former days
The masks were raised
When the god came down
From off the mountain
And a sacrifice was made
For they knew the day of wrath
Was fast approaching
Just like yesterday, before the war
John Francis Dooley
The scapegoat has run
All our sins are disowned
And now it’s time for you
To take off thy mask
And cross the Rubicon
If you and I were one
Within the eyes of our designs
It would still not change
The fact of our leaving.
For tonight we must leave
With the first gentle breeze
For the isles of Ken we are assailing
Just like Ulysses, on an open sea.
On an odyssey of self discovery
Later folks, off to put the house on red at the casino, and see what happens….

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSEmFvuUXWk
Far too many to choose one so I’ll offer one final smorgasbord. The schmaltzy “If You Leave Me Now” Chicago & “Season in the Sun” Terry Jacks to an ode like “Ruby Tuesday” Rolling Stones a torch song “Say Hello Wave Goodbye” Soft Cell or the mildly bitchy “Hit The Road Jack” Ray Charles to the just another chapter “All Things Must Pass” The Beatles, “Go Your Own Way” Fleetwood Mac & “Ramble On” Led Zeppelin or the sentimental “Hey That’s No Way to Say Goodbye” by the late uncle Leonard C. But in the end I’ll stumped for something a tad more bitter sweet and ambiguous “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)” by Green Day

well, yes, a beautiful, evocative, seemingly timeless song
they tend to play it a lot on rte1 Risin’Time at around 5h35
of a morning: so it can be tricky to deal with its instant sense of loss,
regret, desolation and its potential for complete emotional demolition
before the day gets going, even. Tho in fairness, that Glen Campbell
version is relatively tame… whereas this Nick Cave 1980s version fairly
scythes-down ones will to go on… A bit like the demise of Broadsheet, alas.
But Bodger will Bodge’ back better before we know it :-)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc2oKEXFL5w
That’s beautiful, thanks galaxia. Leave it to Nick Cave. And I agree, Bodger’s finest chapter awaits.
“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain… Time to die.”

Roxy Music – Song for Europe
If you could press rewind and do it all again
Would you change your mind, would you change a thing
Would you make it easy, would you make it hard
Would you play the game under another name
Or ask the dealer for one more card
Bang your drum, sing your song
Don’t give up, keep the faith, it won’t be long
You’ve been high, you’ve been low
Press rewind and let it go
Have you had your say, seen all you wanted to see
Or did your dream give way to reality
Don’t think it’s all too late for you to even try
Before you clip your wings, see what this life brings
You’ve waited too long it’s time to fly
Bang your drum, sing your song
Don’t give up, keep the faith, it won’t be long
You’ve been high, you’ve been low
Press rewind and let it go
Do you believe in fate and what is meant to be
Could you imagine life without a guarantee
Would you appreciate that time was on your side
A flash of second sight, a chance to do it right
Is something money just can’t buy
Bang your drum, sing your song
Don’t give up, keep the faith, it won’t be long
You’ve been high, you’ve been low
Press rewind and let it go https://youtu.be/cToKuXTp3jU

In a way it is I guess
As I leave your side
I’ve taken the air
Take care, please, take care
Take care, please, take care”

Suppose I were to tell you that the meaning of dreams
Is not all that it seems and the ultimate truth is a lie.
And you are just a puppet who can dance on a string.
Do you feel anything?
Would you laugh? would you care? would you cry?
But the meaning of life is a mystery, how can anyone disagree?
And the music of life is a symphony which we play in a minor key.
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and you’re the clown. and if I dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.
So if you are confused and don’t know which way to go.
You will certainly know. from the moment we’re living we die.
And if it’s all a crazy game you don’t want to play
Tell me what can you say.
It’s a joke. it’s the truth. it’s a lie.
But the meaning of life is a mystery that we don’t understand so far.
And the music of life is a rhapsody if you’re happy the way that you are.
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and you’re the clown and if I dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.
And the meaning of life is a mystery though we live it from day to day.
But the music of life should be harmony so that anyone here can play.
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and you’re the clown. and if I dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.
I’m emotional…
Like a fish…
The party’s over…
Celebrate

Goodbye my love, goodbye
Goodbye and au revoir
As long as you remember me
I’ll never be too far
Goodbye my love, goodbye
I always will be true
So hold me in your dreams
‘Til I come back to you

Thanks For the music and memories.
Not to do with this weeks theme, but still apt,.
Thats life!

May I tempt anyone at this hour with some hairy Greek prog? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIBgX2m18sA&list=RDMM&index=3 Amazingly weird farewell song, if probably Luciferian.
I’ll see myself out.
If you want to stick with the Greek theme you could start with this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHW2P10b3-E&ab_channel=HeavenMusic (Simera means Today)
and end with this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSav51fVlKU&ab_channel=HDFilmTributes
Thank you, Steph.
I’m not into pop music but the title of the first song is Today and the second is Chariots of Fire so that was my analogous thinking of 12 years of BS A-Z off the top of my head.
Don’t ever forget: η ελπίδα πεθαίνει τελευταία

And obviously Thank You for The Music by ABBA for Nick :)

Nick, all the best for whatever the future holds.
There isn’t a goodbye or thank you in this one, but AFAIR you’re a Buffalo Tom fan and this song seems apt:
Taillights Fade
https://youtu.be/sEjmJ1Ge00U
Thanks Ben. Yes, love Buffalo Tom. great tune to end with.
