Music Of Goodbye
Regine Velasquez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The music of goodbye again
It's there each time we say hello
As always there's no reason why again
You kissed me with your eyes
And in your arms I fly again
But even as we touched the clouds
There in the quiet we kissed goodbye again
Perhaps the way I hold you
Makes you afraid I'll hold you
Makes you afraid to love me
Love me
As through the night we danced
The tender dance I'd try again
I hear it playing softly
And sadly
Perhaps the way I hold you
Makes you afraid I'll hold you
Makes you afraid to love me
Love me
Goodbye... goodbye... goodbye...
Regine Velasquez's song "Music of Goodbye" appears to be a love song that details the challenges of falling in love with someone who may be afraid of fully committing to a relationship. The songwriter describes the feeling of saying "goodbye" repeatedly, despite the fact that each time they say "hello," the connection between the two seems to grow stronger. In the first verse, the writer describes the sensation of being lifted up and then dropped back down again, almost as though they are in a perpetual state of falling in love with the same person over and over again.
The chorus offers a possible explanation for why the songwriter's love interest seems to be pulling away. The lyrics suggest that perhaps the way the writer holds this person makes them afraid to love them fully. The second verse is filled with romantic imagery, describing a night of dancing and hearing the soft, sad notes of the song they know so well. Despite the beauty of the moment, the song ends with a final "goodbye," suggesting that this romance may never fully take flight.
Overall, "Music of Goodbye" is a compelling and emotional look at the complexities of modern love. The lyrics suggest that falling in love is not always straightforward or simple, and that sometimes even the strongest connections can be fraught with tension and uncertainty.

The original of this is stunning too.
It's the theme of Out of Africa. The movie was stunningly beautiful. Nice version.

I think this song captures the essence of ending a relationship: sweet and tender as you say goodbye, and then forceful and full of resolve as you leave that relationship behind!
