Everytime We Say Goodbye

Every time we say goodbye, I die a little

Every time we say goodbye, I wonder why a little

Why the Gods above me, who must be in the know

Think so little of me? They allow you to go



When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it

I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it

There's no love song finer but how strange the change

From major to minor, every time we say

Every time we say, every time we say goodbye



Every time we say goodbye, I die a little

Every time we say goodbye, I wonder why a little

Why the Gods above me, who must be in the know

Think so little of me? They allow you to go



When you're near, there's such an air of spring about it

I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it

There's no love song finer but how strange the change

From major to minor, every time we say

Every time we say, every time we say goodbye



There's no love song finer

There's no love song finer

Everytime We Say Goodbye

Echo And The Bunnymen's 'Everytime We Say Goodbye' stands as a defining track from their 1986 debut album, encapsulating the band's signature blend of post-punk energy and melodic pop sensibility. The song features the group's characteristic driving rhythm section and soaring, emotive vocals that became hallmarks of their sound during the mid-1980s. Released during a period when the band was establishing themselves as a leading force in the UK indie scene, the recording showcases their ability to fuse atmospheric textures with catchy hooks. It remains a staple of their discography, often cited as a prime example of the era's alternative rock evolution and continuing to resonate with listeners who appreciate the band's lyrical focus on transient relationships and emotional vulnerability.
