about

This was recorded live at Western University.

lyrics

I've built bonds,
Oh they're strong, oh they're strong.
Just 4 months,
Not that long, not that long,
But that's all it takes,
To make my heart ache,
When I leave you.

And when I'm gone,
You stay strong, you stay strong.
Take a stand,
Be the man, be the man.
Make your moves,
And I'll be there with you too,
I'll support you.

But life, when you're young, is just a series of goodbyes.

You've made waves,
Go be brave, go be brave.
All the way,
To LA, majide*?
We'll make it through,
Show them what I see in you.
I still love you.

Put up a fight,
Hit 'em once, hit 'em twice.
If you've had enough,
You'll be back, or you'll be tough.
And I'll make my way,
To the coast, where I can stay,
And I'll see you.

But life, when you're young, is just a series of goodbyes.

We'll pick up where we left off,
Or at least we'll try.
Remember that sorry send-off,
This time I won't say goodbye.
Or at least I'll say it right.

I met you,
Long ago, long ago.
Just 4 dudes,
In the hall, in the show.
Is there something I can do,
Make a call, to let you know,
That I miss you.
I miss you.

'Cause life, when you're young, is just a series,
Life, when you're young, is just a series,
'Cause life, when you're young, is just a series of goodbyes.
Goodbye,
Goodbye,
Goodbye.

*まじで ("majide") is a casual Japanese word meaning "really?"

Emma Whale Toronto, Ontario

Emma Whale is the next artist you’ll bring up at dinner to sound cool.

Emma became a multi-instrumentalist at a young age. She has been a songwriter for several years, and works as an engineer and producer at Catherine North Studios.

While compared to Clairo, Taylor Swift, and Hayley Williams, her sound is hard to pin down. But her consistent and impressive lyrics and vocal are uniquely her. ... more
