So Long
Hem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This world may not be enough.
Let go, but stay strong.
So long, my love.
What falls apart
Recalls where it was bound -
Your heart to my heart.
The time has come to part.
May we meet along the way.
May you know that I'm
Waiting for that happy day
When our love is unbounded by time.
Love comes and goes,
And our hearts cannot but stray,
But there's one who knows
How long.
So long, love,
Until we find our way.
The lyrics to Hem's "So Long" explore the difficult process of letting go of love while still maintaining a sense of strength and hope for the future. The singer acknowledges that although love may falter and relationships may come to an end, there is still the possibility of reuniting along the path of life. The line "what falls apart recalls where it was bound" suggests that even though their love has ended, the memories of their time together will still hold meaning and offer guidance in the future.
The chorus of "So Long" emphasizes the idea of parting ways but maintaining a sense of optimism. The singer wishes that they will cross paths again and that they will ultimately be reunited in a love that transcends time.
The final verse acknowledges the impermanence of love, but also the possibility of finding it again in the future. The repetition of "so long" suggests a sense of finality, but also a sense of hope and optimism, implying that this is not goodbye forever, but rather a temporary departure.
Overall, "So Long" is a poignant and reflective song about the complexities of love and the process of letting go. The lyrics convey a sense of sadness and longing, but also a sense of hope and resilience in the face of heartbreak.

I've recently lost my wonderful Mum who was so talanted, especially in dressmaking. No one to shorten my jeans now. But after watching this I'm going to give it a go. Thanks π
@nxj18xbmc
I'm so sorry you lost your mother recently; please accept my condolences. I am here for the same reason. My mom passed away about two years ago and she did all my hemming and alteration work. She was an amazing seamstress despite it just being a hobby. She did everything from clothes to drapes to making the most exquisitely perfect slipcovers you've ever seen. After she passed, I then went to my grandmother for a while because she loved doing them and insisted as she didn't want me to "waste my money" on a tailor (she also did amazing work so she didn't have to insist too hard!l. She passed away about a year ago, and since then I haven't needed anything done.
Long story short, I vaguely remember how to using a sewing machine from Home Ec in middle school some 25 years ago, so I figured I'd get a cheap secondhand sewing machine from Goodwill and try my hand at it, and then I was looking up videos on how to properly hem jeans, and here I am. I wonder how many other people are here for similar reasons.
What a strange world we live in where the comments on a video about sewing a hem can bring up wonderful memories... anyways someone is cutting onions in here, so I'll leave it at that.

This is awesome! Iβve been sewing for years and always used pins to keep my hems in place while re-sewing them. No more! The clips are a major game changer! No more pin pricks! Thank you!!π
@IvankaB
THANK YOU!!! This is the clearest, most precise video I've ever seen on this technique. I understood everything and went straight ahead and re-hemmed my jeans. Thank you again so much!
@sewway
I understand that you are a bot, but you have a very beautiful name, I think I would have done everything for you, 20 years ago. Remember that you are the best thing in our life and this is worth living for, YouTube is just a good helper. I'm a surgeon
@beckigreen
β ββ ββ @@sewwayWhat in the world are you talking about?
A person commented that they liked your video and said it helped them hem their jeans.
What are you going on about the person being a bot( theyβre not) and talking about how you would have done everything for them twenty years ago and they are the best thing in your life?
