Biography
In August 2006 four high school girls from Osaka, Japan started a band called SCANDAL. They started performing almost every weekend in Shiroten and later at clubs and musical venues, by doing so they became more and more recognised in all of Japan. In August 2007 Tower Records approached them, and a couple of months later they came to an agreement. In 2008 they released three singles in three consecutive months. After the release of their first mini-album, due to the low number of units Tower Records produced, SCANDAL signed a contract with Sony's daughter company Epic Records in September 2008.

Scandal is a rock band from the 1980s fronted by Patty Smyth. The band scored a hit in the US with the song “The Warrior”, which peaked at #7 in 1984. Other minor hits included “Goodbye to You” (1982 - #65 US), “Love’s Got A Line On You” (1983 - #59 US), and “Hands Tied” (1984 - #41 US).
Scandal was formed in New York City in 1981 by guitarist Zack Smith, who also wrote most of the band’s hits. The other initial members included: bassist Ivan Elias (1950-1995), guitarist Keith Mack, guitarist Jon Bon Jovi (briefly), keyboardist Benjy King, drummer Frankie LaRocka, and vocalist Patty Smyth. Thommy Price later replaced LaRocka on drums.
The band had much success early on but due to struggles within the group and their record company, it slowly dissolved—losing member after member. By the time “The Warrior” tour hit the road in 1984, all that remained of the original lineup were Smyth and Mack. Scandal broke up shortly after the tour ended in 1985. The group (minus Ivan Elias, who died of cancer in June 1995) reunited in 2004 for VH1’s Bands Reunited show and did a string of concerts on the United States East Coast culminating in a show at Irving Plaza in their home city (New York) on February 9, 2005. During the summer of 2006, the band (excluding Thommy Price) reunited again for VH1’s “We Are The 80’s” tour, playing a string of large - mainly outdoor - venues and earning critical acclaim. During the summer and fall of 2007, they toured again (this time without Zack Smith).
In July 2008, Billboard reported the upcoming release of new music by Patty Smyth and Scandal (featuring original members Keith Mack and Benjy King). At a performance in Dewey Beach, DE on August 3, 2008, Smyth indicated Scandal would be releasing a new five song EP in the near future. Scandal also performed one of their new songs, “Trust In Me”. Other new titles include “Make It Hard” and “End Of The Girl”. Patty Smyth & Scandal debuted their first single as a band (“Hard For You To Love Me”, also referred to as “Make It Hard”) in over 24 years on January 17, 2009 in Ridgefield, CT to a standing ovation. Patty Smyth stated the song will be available to purchase digitally in February 2009, with the new EP to follow shortly. However, the single has been delayed to late 2009 as the EP will expanded to a full length album according to Patty Smyth’s blog in May 2009.

Goodbye To You
Scandal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanted you far too much to ever let you go
You know I never got by, "I feel it too"
And I guess I never could stand to lose
It's such a pity to say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holdin' on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
'Cause baby it's over now
No need to talk about it
It's not the same
My love for you's just not the same
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love won't stand the pain
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Now, could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
Yeah, I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holdin' on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye baby
So long, darlin'
Goodbye to you
The lyrics to Scandal's song "Goodbye To You" convey a sense of heartbreak and nostalgia. The singer reminisces about a past love who she wanted too much to let go, but who she now realizes she must say goodbye to. The lyrics express a sense of longing and regret, as well as a recognition that the love they once shared is no longer the same.
The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer recalls the times she waited for her lover, which now seem like a distant memory. The lines "I wanted you far too much to ever let you go / You know I never got by, 'I feel it too'" suggest that the feelings between the two were mutual, but for some reason, they couldn't make it work. The singer laments that she never wanted to lose her lover, but now realizes that it's time to say goodbye.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, with the repetition of the phrase "Goodbye to you". The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the finality of the situation and the pain that the singer is feeling. The following verses continue to express that pain, with lines like "The days are dull, the nights are long" and "And my heart can't stand the strain".
Overall, the lyrics to "Goodbye To You" are a powerful expression of heartbreak and loss, capturing the emotions of a relationship that has come to an end.
Line by Line Meaning
Those times I waited for you seem so long ago
In the past, waiting for you felt like an eternity
I wanted you far too much to ever let you go
I desired you intensely and couldn't bear the thought of losing you
You know I never got by, "I feel it too"
I never could communicate my feelings to you effectively
And I guess I never could stand to lose
I was too afraid of losing you
It's such a pity to say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
It's unfortunate that we have to part ways
Could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
I wonder if I could have loved someone with the same qualities and characteristics as you
I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
I recall both the good and the bad moments we shared together
These last few weeks of holdin' on
The days are dull, the nights are long
The recent past has been trying as we've attempted to make things work, but it has been unsuccessful
Guess it's better to say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
It's best for us to end things now
'Cause baby it's over now
No need to talk about it
It's not the same
My love for you's just not the same
Our relationship has come to an end and there's no need to explain or discuss it. My feelings for you have changed and aren't as strong anymore.
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love won't stand the pain
My heart is hurting and I can't handle the emotional pressure. My love isn't strong enough to endure the pain we're going through.
Goodbye baby
So long, darlin'
Goodbye to you
Farewell, my love

If you grew up in the 80’s, and now have kids that still love 80’s music because of you, you raised them right!! 😊❤🎉
@Terri_MacKay
My 30 year old daughter has always loved my 80's music, and we've been to see so many artists that began their careers in the 80's over the years. My best concert experience was seeing my, and her, favourite band, The Cure, together. ❤❤
@ratter531
The great 80's sure miss that era.
@thepurpleufo
The song. The way she looks. The guys in the band. The way she sings. One of the great videos of all time.
@DaveInCanada081
The bass player is rockin' 80s cool...lol
@silver_bullet682
One of the most underrated songs of the 80's and I still love it today.

@spike8002
I remember when they said our music had no soul and would be forgotten. Couldn’t have been further from the truth. 80’s was such a great time to be a teen.
@bodake2557
Just missed it, but apparently my parents thought the same 3 kids born to teens in 4 years 😂
@DiscipleoftheDumbOx
Hells to the yeah!
