PART I i still remember the first time that you came into my life (and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild) on your bike with a cello strapped onto your back (and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild) in an instant i fell in love with you and everything (and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild) i can't believe you were only seventeen (and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild) you curled your lips like nothing that i'd ever seen (and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild) it took convincing but you finally played a song for me (and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild) you smiled that smile and said that you believe in destiny (and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild) you kissed my cheek and said you had to leave (and it drove me wild, yeah it drove me wild) PART II now looking back upon our past i can pinpoint it to exactly when i fell for you sunny summer afternoon riding your bike to the school cello strapped to your back oh how that girl disappeared it seemed like only days had passed flying through the years you took me for the fool i am i could never really understand why you'd string someone along like that PART III i'd be lying if i said that your letter didn't break my heart though i saw it coming from the start because you really never played that part but after all we've been through after all the beautiful words the promises that i knew you couldn't keep but i let you string be along PART IV and now you're gone PART V i let go of her like you said i should the promises you made that you're back home for good oh how it stings when i read your letter again and again i let her go on empty words like the fool that i am PART VI alone i walk down to the loire your bracelet unravels in the water as i watch it float away should i swim after it or let it be the decisions that i made down to the smallest of mistakes the role i knew you'd always play excuses goodbyes empty promises you made meet you in another life you say like anything would change PART VII like anything would change PART VIII you made me this bracelet a simple reminder of you to wear it every day but now it's time to let go

about

"Goodbye First Love" is my 19th solo album. Like "Elias," it's a concept album that was written with multiple vocalists in mind (2 in this case). It was written and recorded in 2014, but never released since I couldn't find a female vocalist. It was originally supposed to have 9 tracks, but 2 have been dropped for this release because of this. 1 has been written in full and mostly recorded (using my vocals for both parts), but it just didn't sound right with 1 vocalist. The 2nd song was going to be a letter written to the male character, but I never bothered writing it since I couldn't find a female vocalist to sing it. Some songs are just demos (I'm sure you can tell by the quality of those songs). The only reason I'm releasing it now is because I've moved on to a different sound, and I wanted to make this, made up of my earlier stuff, available before releasing new material. Perhaps one day I'll find a female vocalist and can record and release the album as intended. But chances are this is the best you're going to get. I hope you still enjoy it for what it is.

Thanks for listening!!
