give me MARC ALMOND singing this any time. marc puts so much passion and power in his preformance of the song.................oh for those soft cell days again lol
This is the ultimate letting go song. Letting go of someone you love, painfully. Because you remember all the times you tried to make it work, and all the effort you put in. just for them to shoot you down in flames. This song brings tears to my eyes, but gives me hope with the strength that we came through it. I don't understand why people see it as a love song, but the tune is very pretty to be mistaken as such.
This song will always be the quintessential love song. No matter the time it will fit your life at some point. For some, memories will be heart breaking, others fond memories of times shared with someone special. For some a smile will pass across their face, others a tear will spill down their cheek........... Perfect in the moment........... say hello, wave goodbye.........
This song is oh so relevant to me right now, the woman I have loved for years has treated me so badly there is no other way but to let her go, I have fought to keep her for so long, but one too many nasty scenes of her making have made things unbearable, I am heartbroken :( :( this song just sums up our relationship :( I love you and miss you so much babe, but you cant treat me like that any more :(
First heard this tune back in 1982 when I was six.Always loved the tune.the lyrics to this song seem so very ironic to me now lol.A fantastic cover :)
I love the soft cel version and not particularly a fan of David Gray by any means, but I have to admit, this is the best version of this song. The true caustic nature of the lyrics shine through in this version, even more than in the original. A beautiful, bitter- sweet song made even better.In my opinion, at least.
I miss the life I once had. It was to late to make it right when I finally realized that my wife was everything I would ever need. I miss her dearly. This was her comfort song. I dont have the CD or a computer but everytime I have access to one i look this song and think of what could of been and what is. .
Some songs should NEVER be performed by any one else! This is one of those songs. This belongs to Marc Almond. David Gray, try your hand at Michael Jackson's Thriller why don't you? That's another serious mismatch!
I never was a fan of covers but this has to be one of the best ever.....hats off to Marc Almond for the lyrics but David Gray in my opinion took the lyrics and gave them the musical soulmate they were searching for........not a big fan of Soft Cell or David Gray but this is perfection.......just my opinion peace
all i can say is tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuune respect it just pulls me in ooooooh this song was wrote for him and he never ever new it untill he cross zee line and hey respectthelogic of softcell say hello & wave goodbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye x
this was my deceased brothers favourite tune.he died unexpectedly,and the evening before his funeral his girlfriend came up to the family home and put this on.she told us about them,and how this tune was involved in their life at that time. oct 02-oxford. rip dh. love and miss you. thankyou sara.god bless.x jh
Early death is so sad, then you attach a song like this to it and it's embedded in your heart and mind inextricably forever...I was upset with a friend when he died...this song makes me think of him...makes ya wish you could go back and do it all again...
For me, this is a beautiful song about love and being in truth to oneself by making the decision to wave goodbye to a relating that doesnt serve you to reach your higher self.
Happiness comes from living in truth moment by moment, say hello and wave goodbye.
love is bittersweet, this song really hits the nail on the head :-)

Holy shit mate, sorry to hear that.
Is this song a real crippler for you?
Reason I ask is because at a friends funeral two other mates played an acoustic version of Good Riddance by Green Day.
Every time I hear it now i'm reduced to a sobbing mess.
