Goodbye SongThis is a song to which Di and I wrote the lyric last summer, just before she became so sick. I just found the time to put it to music and record it yesterday. Let me know what you think. I dropped the vocal back a wee bit in the mix since posting the song. I've been pretty scarce on the forum the past few month due to Di's illness and some health issues that popped up for me recently. I'm scheduled for eye surgery at the end of the month. I will visit the great artists on these boards as I can. And thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. I simply didn't have time to reply to everyone who left a comment. But, I'll persevere as i can. Thanks! Best to everyone ...

David, BMI / Diana Randall, BMI (v1) The journey was good, I'll never forget The memories we etched in our hearts We traveled near and we traveled far Sometimes to unkown parts Then we came to a fork in the road And the truth stared us square in the face You chose left and I chose right Each seeking a different place CHORUS We tried our best but somewhere it went wrong Your ping didn’t like my pong Your ying and my yang just couldn’t get along Now we're singing our goodbye song INSTRUMENTAL VERSE CHORUS We tried our best but somewhere it went wrong Your ping didn’t like my pong Your ying and my yang just couldn’t get along Now we're singing our goodbye song (v2) We came to fences that we couldn’t mend So we jumped them and went our own ways I'm still not sure where it all went wrong I'm confused as I sort through the haze You were a Pepsi and I was a Coke Somehow we both lost our fizz No hard feelings no axes to grind As they say it is what it is REPEAT CHORUS x2

Alan... "You were a Pepsi and I was a Coke Somehow we both lost our fizz No hard feelings no axes to grind As they say it is what it is" A clever verse! Fun. The swing treatment was a nice way to put this one across. Always like a toe-tapping break-up song  The vocals do get a bit "hot" in the chorus. Shouldn't take much to tame that... Best to both you and Di... fj

Hi Floyd ...
Thanks for the nice comments. Much appreciated. Glad ya liked that verse as it was the very last thing we wrote. We contemplated a last verse to give the story some resolve and this is where we ended up. Glad it works.
I went back and remixed the vocal. I brought it down a touch - a touch and a half in the choruses - and trimmed a very small amount of high EQ. I also compressed it slightly differently. Thanks for the insight. Wishing you well ...
Alan

Love the Pepsi and Coke, lost our fizz. Very creative!! Nice reflective song. Hi Donna ... Glad you enjoyed that. It just came to us out of the clear blue. We'd written the rest of the lyric several days prior but were never happy with the last verse. We needed more resolve and low and behold ....! Thank you! Wishing you the best ... Alan

Love it and the temperament is perfect for a country swing thing.
Also I could see this exact same backing but with brass and done as a Louis Prima type tune too. Great work.
It's only my madness that stops me from going insane.

I appreciate them very much. And Louis Prima is an excellent reference. I always enjoyed him. Yes, I'm old enough to remember seeing him perform (I'll be 72 next Friday). And Keely Smith always seemed so undisturbed by his antics. She was pretty good herself, you know! Many thanks for the visit and nice words. Best to you ... Alan

And Keely Smith always seemed so undisturbed by his antics. She was pretty good herself, you know! Indeed, a great part of their show depended on her lack of movement and stern face in contrast to his clowning around... And what a singer she was too yes.

So, an amicable break-up is a real thing?
So good to hear from you, hope your eye surgery goes well.
I miss your presence here but I certainly understand.
This is a clever and entertaining song, solid delivery.
enjoyed,
Kenny

Thank you so much, Jim! I love that country 4/4 swing - played it for about 50 years. I appreciate the kindness. Wishing you the very best ... Alan

Hey Kenny ...
Well, it's a real thing in this song!!!
Thanks for the surgery well-wishes. They're gonna pop my eyeball out of the socket and cut into. Sounds delightful, eh??!! My background is visual health, so I know what's going on, both with my eye and how they hope to fix the problem.
Glad you liked the song. Thanks so much for letting me know. Best to you ...
Alan

Friendly breakups are rare...nice to hear a tune addressing that Well performed, well written and, yeah, that swing thing! Most enjoyable.... J&B

Alan, A very nice story telling tune! This was extra cool line: "Your ying and my yang just couldn’t get along" I like Gypsy fiddle on this, brings that vintage saloon feel. Thank you for sharing! Misha.

In addition to the Coke and fizz lyric already mentioned, I also like "Your ping didn’t like my pong." Fun song. That squawky fiddle adds to the flavor.

Friendly breakups are rare...nice to hear a tune addressing that Well performed, well written and, yeah, that swing thing! Most enjoyable.... J&B Hi! Thank you so much for the kind words of support and encouragement. The lyric was finished in August or September of last year. Then Di's health plummeted and I never got back to it for the music. The last few days have been better for her, health-wise, and me time-wise. SO, I've been taking advantage of that and working on several songs, this being the first I "finished". It only took 20 or 30 minutes to come up with the music, and then about an hour to bring it ti fruition. Got a couple more I'm tinkering with. Again, many thanks for the kindness. Glad you enjoyed that particular part of the lyric as it's my favorite. Wishing both of you the very best. T^ake care ... Alan
