Jun Parker’s groovy and soulful J-Pop journey on ‘Say Goodbye’ is the perfect ride slow song even if the lyrics fly above your head. The immaculately produced piece from this Portland based song writer is all about an escape, describing a drive-away-journey deep into the outback while reflecting and reminiscing on life as it is. It’s about that search and need for a break, for a reprieve momentarily from the constant worry and mundanity of the day to day you’re embroiled in. You find yourself listening to it and imagining what can be, what could have been, and what it would take to drop everything and start anew.
A truly delightful piece of escapist J-Pop.
