Tausendzweihundertvierunddreißig (Italo Disko 1234 Mix)

A heartbreakingly beautiful ballad about the final vigil at the bedside of a dying loved one. "The Long Goodbye" explores the grief of a slow departure, where letting go is an act of supreme love.

(Verse 1)
The clock on the wall ticks the hours away
Turning the night into a grey kind of day
The machine in the corner is breathing for you
A rhythm of life that we're holding onto
Your hand is so light, like a bird in my palm
The storm has passed over, now there's only this calm

(Chorus)
And this is the long goodbye
The slow fading out of the light in your eye
It’s not a sudden dark, it’s a sunset so slow
You’re leaving in pieces, with nowhere to go
I’m holding the anchor while you drift the tide
Oh, mercy, this is the long goodbye

(Verse 2)
I talk to you softly of times that have passed
Of summers and secrets we thought would last
I don't know if you hear me, or if you are gone
Already walking on some other lawn
But I’ll sit here and wait for the angel to come
And untie the knots that we haven't undone

(Chorus)
This is the long goodbye
The slow fading out of the light in your eye
It’s not a sudden dark, it’s a sunset so slow
You’re leaving in pieces, with nowhere to go
I’m holding the anchor while you drift the tide
Oh, mercy, this is the long goodbye

(Bridge)
Let go of the earth, let go of the pain
You don't have to fight to be human again
The body is heavy, but the spirit is free
You can leave all the weight of the worry to me
Just fly... just fly...

(Chorus)
This is the long goodbye
The slow fading out of the light in your eye
It’s not a sudden dark, it’s a sunset so slow
You’re leaving in pieces, with nowhere to go
I’m holding the anchor while you drift the tide
Oh, mercy, this is the long goodbye

(Outro)
Sleep now.
It’s okay.
I’m right here.
Goodbye.

The Long Goodbye

The path of least resistance

A Day for Existence

You're safe...
We're back to the black and white
Just universal might
Since 45 years plus one point seven five
The seed was setup for this life
Well that was March... Hmmm a birthday...
Some things best left alone...
Some say
So, December comes along
Then the 4 x 4 day, born.
New selections can't be wrong.
It's the Perfect time
It's the Perfect song

'Cause they've all come in
And they're all helping
And I'm not alone
'Cause I got all your backbone

Today for existence
A true and perfect home
With less as less resistance
It's Perfect time
The Perfect song
It can't ever be wrong

Who's coming with me?
Some true for you to absorb my happy
Hear to see
No fear and you'll be
The me you true
Part of the Sun
Projected on this land
It's Perfect time
It's the Perfect song
It can't ever be wrong

This is your seed....
it's for you Tina 🤍

December 15th 1996, my close friend Tina was taken early in an accident. I managed to finally write her a song last year and since it's Tina's anniversary soon I went for a shot at the vocal again. I decided to make it a song appreciating existence as it's impossible to make sense of why I get to live on and poor Tina's life was cut short at 16 years of age. Here's to existing and getting to live. Love ya Tina


The photo is taken in Pokhara Nepal, 2006 🇳🇵 I had just found the long exposure setting 😆🕺 Kind of fitting to use it here! 🤍
behind the seating area is lake Phewa Tal, one of the most amazing places I've ever been. On a calm day you can see the snow capped Himalayan peaks reflected in the water and I'd definitely recommend heading there if the opportunity arises. The Nepali people are some of the warmest welcoming spirits I've ever got the pleasure of experiencing.
