Not Goodbye (Encore Reprise) is a cinematic West End–style ballad that lingers in the quiet space between departure and return. Expressive piano arpeggios open the piece, gradually joined by tender woodwinds and swelling strings that mirror the song’s emotional arc.

The verses sit in introspection and fragile uncertainty, carried by an intimate female vocal navigating self-reflection and emotional tension. As the chorus unfolds, the arrangement expands into sweeping orchestral harmonies, lifting the melody into something both aching and resolute.

A gentle tempo and key shift in the bridge marks a turning point - solitude gives way to clarity, and doubt transforms into promise. The reprise leans into restraint rather than finality, ending not with farewell, but with hope held quietly in reserve.

Melancholy, resilient, and theatrical, Not Goodbye (Encore Reprise) feels like the moment just before the curtain rises again.

Not Goodbye (Encore Reprise)

Moving freely between funky house, chillsynth, ballads, techno, hard house and instrumental soundscapes. I build tracks around rhythm, mood and tiny sparks of emotion that grow into something bigger. Some tunes hit hard, some float, some just wander in and make themselves at home.
