What a truely awesome song. So soft. Still so sad. Almost as if Stevie is whispering. I love the addition of the extra lyrics:

Goodbye Baby
I hope your heart's not broken
Don't forget me
Yes I was outspoken
You were with me all the time
I'll be with you one day . . .

The tears flow freely with this song - one of Stevie's best.

Definately agree. When I head it I thought of someone looking down at a baby they are rocking in their arms and quietly singing it to sleep!!! Oh God, where are my tissues. It reminds me of "Baby Mine" from Dumbo!!!!!

OMG LMAO!!

That's so funny but it's so TRUE!! That song always kills me in that movie, and Goodbye Baby is equally gut wrentching.

Even my roommate, who is not a huge fan, was sort of holding back tears and he said that he thought Goodbye Baby was even better than Landslide

What about Say Goodbye? I cannot stress how beautifully Lindsey and Stevie sing on this song!! You would think it was 30 years ago!

are they using a piano on this like the demo?

It's bass, guitar, and strings (probably synthesizer), very soft percussion (not drums, not sure what it is) and eventually a xylophone. Kind of like Touched By An Angel, only much, much softer. That's the best way I can describe it. The guitar is doing a sixteenth note pattern very softly under the vocal. It's all very hushed. It's like a whisper.

Well - Goodbye Baby certainly is one of the best things I have ever heard in my life!!!!! She nailed the voice, the music (kudos to LB), the emotion - all of it. Get out a hanky when you hear this one.

I must say its pretty cool how John is pretty much following the piano chords in the demo with the bass lines in this stunningly glorious and magnificent version.

I do, however, miss the line ". . . and when you hold yourself and know that there were two and now only you remain." I have seen this line give even the hardest people chills.
