By your request G



A song that was recorded during the time when the Beatles union began to fracture. While the tune is somewhat buoyant, it is indicative of descension or disagreement in the ranks just by it's lyrics. I guess a song that reflects many human relationships in various stages. I would think that the song could've just as easily been called "Yes and No". But, "Hello Goodbye" indicates movement and direction. Coming and going. Not a stationary standoff of opposites. Still, a good song and a good video. A bit of sadness though as the lads are waving goodbye in the suits they wore early on in the band's career. Like bidding farwell to innocence or a time that you can no longer return to. Sad, but necessary sometimes. And sometimes you don't have to say goodbye. You just have to say timeout and then hello again. Sadly, this never happened with the Beatles and then it was too late. May that not be the case for any of us.

  1. and then, unfortunately, there are the clingy types to whom, in the interest of self preservation, you simply MUST bid adieu!

  3. "Hello Again" songs out-number "Goodbye Again":
