As long-time readers know, I do like me a good kiss-off song. A literal read of the lyrics to Dan Bern’s “Baby Bye Bye” finds it more closure than kiss-off adjacent but I’d like to think there’s a hint of sarcasm in there.
And you’re gone, it was time to fly
And all that’s left is the fact we tried
So thanks for the tunes and thanks for the time
You’re gone now, baby bye bye
