“Farewell” is the penultimate song of Nottet’s sophomore album “Sillygomania.” Another spoken poetry before the final song of the album, Mr/Mme.
What is happiness?
What is freedom?
I asked them these questions many times
But they never responded
And yet not a day went by without me hearing their whispers
They told me the same nightmares over and over again
Which I tried in vain to forget
My mind was so bewildered that all I could hear and see was them
Who should I believe?
Where should I go?
Who was I?
From dawn to dusk they stayed close to me and kept reminding me of my past demons
But let me give you some advice
Get rid of all of that
Organize your mind and forget things which should be forgotten
Don't keep forever crying the same old tears
Because if there is one thing you need to do
In order to grow and to evolve
Is to sort things out
Say goodbye to your nightmares and past demons
To be happy, you must listen to yourself
Not to their sinister whispers
Don't be afraid to turn the page and write a much more beautiful story
Sort your mind out
Clear the negative thoughts
And everything will be better
Have faith in yourself
And bid them farewell
Loïc Nottet released Farewell on Fri May 29 2020.
