FAREWELL
Instrumental Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now is the hour when we must say goodbye
Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea
While you're away, o, then remember me
When you return, you'll find me waiting here

Sunset glow fades in the west
Night o'er the valley is creeping
Birds cuddle down in their nest
Soon all the world will be sleeping

Now is the hour when we must say goodbye
Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea




While you're away, o, then remember me
When you return, you'll find me waiting here

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Farewell" by Instrumental evoke a sense of longing and nostalgia as the song bids farewell to a loved one who is sailing far away. The opening line, "Now is the hour when we must say goodbye," sets the tone for the rest of the song. It's a moment of sadness, but also a recognition that life goes on, and people must move forward even when they must let go of someone they care about deeply.


The lyrics paint a beautiful picture of the natural world, as the sunset fades in the west, and night creeps over the valley. The birds cuddle down in their nests, and soon, the whole world will be sleeping. This imagery suggests that life is a cyclical process, and although we may feel like we are saying goodbye forever, eventually, we will all reunite once again.


The final lines of the song are the most poignant, as they express the hope that one day the loved one will return, and the singer will be waiting. It's a message of enduring love and a reminder that even when we are apart, the ones we care about remain in our hearts.


Line by Line Meaning

Now is the hour when we must say goodbye
It's time for us to part ways


Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea
You're about to embark on a journey over the ocean


While you're away, o, then remember me
Please don't forget about me while you're on your trip


When you return, you'll find me waiting here
I'll be here waiting for you to come back


Sunset glow fades in the west
The sun is setting in the west, and its light is growing dimmer


Night o'er the valley is creeping
The darkness of night is slowly moving into the valley


Birds cuddle down in their nest
The birds are settling into their nests for the night


Soon all the world will be sleeping
Before long, everything will be quiet and still as everyone goes to bed

Hi everyone! This is the fifth and last piece on my upcoming album “Jacob’s Melodies” which will consist of the five original pieces I have released during the last five months. It will be available for streaming and purchase as soon as possible.

I will now return to some cover music, but you will definitely soon hear more original music from me as I have plenty of very good ideas.

See you, and thanks for the support to all of you! /Jacob

My mother loves to listen to this song... even though it makes her sad. We bought 3 of your originals songs and played them at the funeral of my little niece. One of our saddest days in life.

@haroldbright5500

Awesome song that slowly builds emotions, momentum of sadness, joy, and memories of the past . 🎼🎶🎵👏🏾

@user-mk2xh3wj8u

My curiosity is, why don't we see your face when you play the piano. The emotion in your hands and fingers are superb so I will like to know how that reflects in your face.

@LightningBug73

You are a very talented songwriter and musician!
