Birdy - Farewell And Goodnight Lyrics






Goodnight, to every little hour that you sleep tight
May it hold you through the winter of a long night
And keep you from the loneliness of yourself
Heart strung is your heart frayed and empty
Cause it's hard luck, when no one understands your love
It's unsung, and I say
Goodnight, my love, to every hour in every day
Goodnight, always, to all that's pure, that's in your heart

Birdy Farewell And Goodnight Comments
  1. L.... P....

    Oversung IMHO

    L.... P....

    Luciano Pazos ‘Humble Opinions’ are fine of course, but please clarify. This is sung with hardly any production, exactly ‘as it is’... which in my opinion is the strength of this recording. I often read comments like yours when it’s just a pure voice... it’s almost like people can’t stand the honesty of it anymore.

  2. B.... D....

    this song's intro reminds me of Utada Hikaru's Simple & Clean

  3. A.... ....

    damn was finding this cover

  4. N.... P....

    That's awesome that she covered this. <3

  5. P.... S....

    Goodnight, to every little hour that you sleep tight
    May it hold you through the winter of a long night
    And keep you from the loneliness of yourself

    Heart strung is your heart frayed and empty
    Cause it's hard luck, when no one understands your love
    It's unsung, and I say
    Goodnight, my love, to every hour in every day
    Goodnight, always, to all that's pure, that's in your heart

  6. �.... �....

    She has such a beautiful angel voice.. Wow
    Love her songs <3 She is a best singer ever

  7. R.... R....

    why does this remind me of put a banana in your ear from charlie the unicorn

    R.... R....

    Why would you say that. Now that's all I can hear, I can't even enjoy it anymore! >:(

  8. H.... A....

    The music is so creepy XD

  9. S.... S....

    S.... S....

    cause it's hard luck when no one understands your love

    Just in case, This particular song was writen by James, not Billy.

    A.... A....

    André Alves No, probably the lyrics were written by Corgan, music co-wrote by Corgan and Iha.

    A.... A....

    @Kevin Key Nope, not true. This is one of only 3 smashing pumpkins songs were Billy isn't credited for writing in any way. The other two are 'Go' and 'Take Me Down'

    A.... A....

    Billy Corgan wrote the following regarding this song in the liner notes:

    Originally penned by James, I jumped
    on this idea as a way to end the album
    appropriately whilst giving a strong nod to
    Los Beatles for being our existential guide. I
    pushed that we all should sing on it, an idea
    Jimmy found appealing until he actually had
    to sing. What I loved about the long process
    of making a double album is that this was the
    kind of song we would never have bothered
    with if not for the necessity of seeking out
    new beginning and endings. I like to think
    that symbolically our unity on this very last
    song stands as a fitting and final testament to
    a dream which held us in very good stead for
    many years. A wonderful dream that lasted
    long enough for us to even bother to document its raucous trajectory.

  12. p.... ....

    oh lord how nice

  13. l.... ....

    she id NOT write this song, this was written by the smashing pumpkins, billy corgan and james iha.

    l.... ....

    lostalex77 Who cares she got a beautiful voice

    l.... ....

    The full album is a cover album, except for one song. Good thing is, she doesn’t try to copy the orignials, but she creates her own version of it. (Something I enjoy when it’s done well... which is the case here and with most of the other songs on the album, except for Fire and Rain. She should have left that one alone).

  14. b.... a....

    Actually the smashing pumpkins wrote it in 1995 ...

  15. s.... ....

    I can't help but remember the ones I have lost whenever I hear this beautiful song.

  16. P.... V....

    She wrote "Without A Word" from her album and also writes from 8 years.

  17. K.... J....

    simply stunning. why is it so short?

  18. b.... a....

    okay she has a nice voice and shes pretty ans blabla but you should listen to the original by The Smashing Pumpkin's :((( srsly shes good but she never made an original (from what i know) and she makes already GOOD songs get popular and whats sad is that people will think that SHE wrote it but its false:( Lol but i really like the one by the SP it became very personal

    b.... a....

    beatlesandana aremylife This is always the case with cover songs. There’s a difference though between a full cover and an impressonist cover. With the latter, the artist has created his/her own interpretation... which is the case here. The credits for the original artists are all on the album of course, it’s just that on Youtube, those credits get washed out. And you’d have to wonder whether she *has to* give credit to the original writers each and every single time. I don’t think so.

  19. C.... H....

    her voice is so comforting, it gets better and better every time you listened to it

  20. G.... M....

    It's from the deluxe version of her cd ''Birdy''

  21. I.... ....

    Its a song of her cd "Birdy" :)

  22. G.... H....

    So, very, beautiful. I'm so glad I got her record.

  23. S.... R....

    C'est une très belle reprise! Comprare ça avec les black i peace "the time of my life". Là, tu pourra dire que c'est de la merde

  24. S.... H....

    Beautiful, loving this girls voice, hope to hear some originals by her soon! Feel like there should be some attribution to Smashing P's and writer of this song James Iha here though. This may well rekindle my love for them :P
