The song is – quite obviously - about the thoughts that go through your head when you say goodbye to somebody for the last time.
lyrics
LAST CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE
I head for the longest ride
Leaving alone tonight
This could be the final step
But try not to talk about it
Let's just be quiet for a while
Making each hour count for three
I believe
It's the last chance to say goodbye
Don't you cry
This is not the first time
But certainly the last time
And this time it hurts a little more
But no need to talk about it
No need to shout
This is the moment we've been waiting for
It's the last chance to say goodbye
Don't you cry
But no need to talk about it
No time for tears, my child
Together we made this moment last
I confess
It's the last chance to say goodbye
Don't you cry

Two dozen 12-string acoustic improvisations that feel undeniably haunting, like lost transmissions from ancient Appalachia, rediscovered. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 17, 2022
Seattle band somesurprises return with lofty, pretty dream pop that recalls the dissonant beauty of Broadcast, Grouper, and MBV. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 13, 2024
