Best Goodbye song#0

Posted: 4/28/05 at 10:08am

SO I'm doing a concert before I leave my home town possibly for good and I'm needing some input on a good "goodbye, thank you, I love and will miss you" type song. Of course it doesn't have to incorporate all of these but any ideas would be awesome! Any tear jerking is a bonus.

Oh, forget "For Good" because myself and my best friend are already doing it....Thanks!

How about ONCE BEFORE I GO - it could be melodramatically done, like Hugh Jackman did it in THE BOY FROM OZ?

Well there's Your Eyes from RENT. Doesn't QUITE fit the description but it's a tearjerker alright! Or maybe Written in the Stars from Aida. Or Tell Her I Love Her from Urinetown. Sorry, from the 3 cast recordings I listened to last night so they're all kind of replaying themselves in my head. :-P

I wanted to get something that an "ex"-junkie like him would really appreciate and cherish....it's a brick of heroin shaped like a heart. -Scrubs

If you want to completely devastate your audience, sing "Saying Goodbye" from "The Muppets Take Manhattan." Always ruins me.
Or you could do "One For My Baby" or "For Now."

I second Mother's Younger Brother's suggestion.

"If you want to completely devastate your audience, sing "Saying Goodbye" from "The Muppets Take Manhattan." Always ruins me."

omg, I was watching that movie last week. I always cry during that song.

I think "Once Before I Go" is a good choice.

I agree that "SAYING GOODBYE" from TMTM is a tear jerker.

Wanna laugh...
Wanna cry...
Saying goodbye...

"Con Te Partiro" ("Time to say Goodbye") by Andrea Boccelli. GORGEOUS, Italian/ popish song.

"You'll Never Walk Alone" from Carousel. It's really nice if your a soprano type.

Kristin Chenoweth could barely control a Great Dane she trotted onto the stage. "Great, they gave me a dog that weighs five times what I do", she quipped. For the record, she weighs 93 pounds, and has a Maltese.

I thought of a couple more: "Lift The Wings" from "Riverdance" and The Beatles' "In My Life."

Have you looked on amazon.com? They might have a sample you can listen to. If I had a copy I would send it to you. I can send you the lyrics; do you want them?

Can't forget "Tell Me On A Sunday" from Tell Me On A Sunday (or Song & Dance).

What about "A Change in Me" From Beauty and the Beast? I suppose this would only be appropriate if you have changed...
