Julia Massey & The Five Finger Discount just dropped this gem on your face —A video for their song “This Is How We’re Gonna Say Goodbye”. The song will be featured on their much anticipated upcoming album titled Heart Tones, set to come out in January 2017.
For Julia Massey & The FFD fans, the song is not unfamiliar. It’s often played at their live shows, always filling the room with a bouncy delight. I’ve never heard a recording of it until now. The video is my first opportunity to clearly hear the words.
The following is my HOT TAKE on what the song is about.
“This Is How We’re Gonna Say Goodbye” is about deciding how to leave your mark on the world and the importance of choosing to do at least something. What you decide is up to you. Big or small, be sure to make it count. And the mural painting in the video visually represents that decision.
Or maybe it’s not about that. Who knows…
But what I do know is that you can catch Julia Massey & The Five Finger Discount at the Crocodile on January 12th. Stereo Embers (another great Seattle rock band) is on the bill. Should be a good time. I’ll see you there, but only if you go.
