One Last Goodbye Lyrics
How I bleed now you're gone
In my dreams I can see you
But I awake so alone
Your heart yearned to stay
But the strength I always loved in you
Finally gave way
Somehow I knew you could never, never stay
And in the early morning light
After a silent peaceful night
You took my heart away
I can tell you how I feel
In my dreams I can hold you
And it feels so real
I still feel your love (still feel your love)
I still feel the pain (still feel the pain)
I still feel your love
And somehow I knew you would leave me
And in the early morning light
After a silent peaceful night
You took my heart away
Oh i wish, wish you could have stayed
yesterday Anathema performed live in the Rockwave Festival in Greece, and Vincent said the following words before playing One Last Goodbye:
"This next song is dedicated to a person we really loved who passed away...But it can also be for a person you love and you lose without his or your will"
I think it sums it up..
This song is so emotional. I heard that this song was practiced by the band members by themselves and then they came together to record it due to the subject of the song they didn't want to overplay it. This subject being the death of the Cavanaghs mother. You can really here the emotion in this song and stands head and shoulders above any other 'emotional' songs.
yeah, this songs about vin and dan's mothers death. mother, not lover. everytime they sing it live, you can feel the emotion pouring out of vincents voice and body language.
This was also the first song I ever heard by them, and quite frankly its still my favourite.
This song was the first song I heard after my friends death a few weeks ago and suddenly the meaning of the song has hit me so much harder.
Such an amazing song, especially the acoustic version on youtube.
the first time i heard this song i remembered my dead girlfriend... then i listened to it everyday... i still listen to it... but everytime it make me remember other things.. like betray, sadness, hate, love, some feelings i am pleased to feel still
one of their best songs ever, really romantic and peaceful.
One of my favourite Anathema songs. I have a very personal relationship to it. The theme is pretty straightforward; The lovers who are forced by unfortunate circumstance to part, and the incessant and unending pain which follows with the ardent longing for the lost lover.. Somehow Anathema conveys this feeling in such a passionate way; it really touches me.
It seems that this song was written about the passing of his mother and I do appreciate that but I seem to take this song and incorporate it into my life and the most painful relationship end I have ever been through. It fits so perfectly.
this was the 1st song for anathema iv'e ever heard & im glad that I did :)
when i first heard this i thought it was just about a seperation, but now i realize its about death it suddenly seems so much more powerful, amazing song.
