I’ve known this song for more than twenty years and
I keep wondering, why is it that I find the tune really beautiful just now?
Maybe because of some occurrences in life that songs become more relatable as
we grow older. I first heard it in a double-CD album entitled, “Ozzy Osbourne:
Live & Loud”; I think it was 1993. Definitely one of this metal icon’s most
awesome concerts! The original recording (1981) was that of his previous
guitarist, Randy Rhoads. Excellent work on the guitar solo!
This version however, is from Lisa Loeb. Although
it doesn’t really resemble an 80s Pinoy pop song (because the overall sound and guitar solo of this Ozzy tune are virtually retained), it reminds me of “High School Life”
by Sharon Cuneta. HAHAHA!!!
Like jokes, at times some songs are half-meant. Half-meant. We can’t be
really too sure about everything, especially in love. Some scenarios are still
welcome in life. I’d like to think of it not as a goodbye to someone,
but only a “someday-it’ll-all-make-sense” kind of tune and a “lullaby to
misery”. Sad but clear-headed.
Beautiful and timely indeed! At least as far as my life is concerned right now…
“GOODBYE TO ROMANCE” (Lisa
Loeb cover) originally by Ozzy Osbourne
Yesterday has been and gone
Tomorrow will I find the sun,
Or will it rain?
Everybody's having fun
Except me, I'm the lonely one
I live in shame
I say, hey
Goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end…
I've been the king
I've been the clown
No broken wings can hold me down
I'm free again
The jester with the broken crown
It won't be me this time around
To love in vain
I say, hey
Goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end…
And I feel ‘the time is
right’
Although I know that you
just might say to me,
“Whatcha gonna do?!”
“Whatcha gonna do?!”
But I have to take this chance, goodbye
To friends and to romance
And to all of you
And to all of you
Come on, now
I say, hey
Goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end…
And the weather's looking fine
And I think the sun will shine again
And I feel I've cleared my mind
All the past is left behind again
I say, hey
Goodbye to romance, yeah
Goodbye to friends, I tell you
Goodbye to all the past
I guess that we'll meet
We'll meet in the end…
