Saturday has found the perfect Goodbye

müzik -  anathema - one last goodbye | izlesene.com

Disingenuous, really, to call it a "discovery", since this has been one of my favorite songs for about 7-8 years. Anathema, part of the early British "Peaceville" collection with "My Dying Bride", set the tone for about two decades of first, doom-death, then goth-doom, then just plain acoustic wonderfulness. Anathema was never as heavy as the latter, but -Damn- can they emote.

This track, One Last Goodbye, is about as close to wholly depressive perfection as you will ever find .

Lyrics go now:

How I needed you
How I grieve now you're gone
In my dreams I see you
I awake so alone

I know you didn't want to leave
Your heart yearned to stay
But the strength I always loved in you
Finally gave way

Somehow I knew you would leave me this 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
And I grieve

In my dreams I can see you
I can tell you how I feel
In my dreams I can hold you
And it feels so real

I still feel the pain
I still feel your love
I still feel the pain
I still feel your love

And somehow I knew you could never, never stay
And somehow I knew you would leave me
And in the early morning light
After a Silent peaceful night
You took my heart away
I wished, I wished you could have stayed
