Talk:Goodbye Stranger

message: I heard this song on the radio station Frank FM frequently. The opening bar in the outro has the guitarist just playing one note and bending it. The other bars have more than one note, but they get played really fast. —Gm1121983 00:38, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: On Frank? Do you listen to that station every single day? —Mr. Conrad 00:41, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Frank was a good station when they first started, but now they play nothin' but shit! Don't you like the Rose better? —Mr. Conrad 00:45, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

text: What do you mean Frank usually plays the whole song? They don't let "Goodbye Stranger" play its entirety. —The Pope
Well, they cut it off when it gets to the fading part. If the song has a clean ending rather than fading out, they will let it play its entirety, and then the DJ talks right after the song stops. —Gm1121983 00:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Rick Davies sings the verses, and he does the backing vocals during the chorus. This needs to be changed in some way because Rick sang lead on "Goodbye Stranger", and it's Roger who sings backup. Rick sings this part during the chorus.
Sweet
devotion
It's not for me
Just give me motion
And set me free
And the Land and the Ocean
Far
Away
It's the life I've chosen
Every Day
So Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again

replies: text: John Helliwell also does the whistling before the falsetto chorus comes in for the second time. WikiPro1981X (talk) 05:35, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

"...female vocals. In the live version, Rick sang some of the falsetto, but Roger and John sang backup."
What live version is being referred to?

message: Should they mention how it was written about rehabilitation from drugs?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.129.216.137 (talk) 03:22, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Pot? Marijuana? --Benjamin Allen Lessig (talk) 01:36, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Found a source, indeed the song is constructed so that there are two protagonists talking to each other. About the marijuana and one night stands I could not find any info, but I think this is of less importance (it is more part of interpretation rather than historical context & meaning). Please check out the new section Context and meaning. --Lrq3000 (talk) 16:48, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
