Goodbye Cruel World (Elvis Costello Album)
''Goodbye Cruel World'' is the ninth studio album by English singer-songwriter Elvis Costello, and his eighth with the Attractions—keyboardist Steve Nieve, bassist Bruce Thomas and drummer Pete Thomas (no relation). It was released on 18 June 1984 through F-Beat Records in the United Kingdom and Columbia Records in the United States. It was produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, who returned from 1983's '' Punch the Clock''. Recorded at London's Sarm West Studios in March 1984 during a period of turmoil for the artist, the problematic sessions included disagreements between Costello and the producers over the album's direction and high tensions amongst the Attractions. The album features a commercial, mainstream pop sound in line with music trends of the time. The mostly downbeat lyrics reflect Costello's personal upheavals at the time, including his failing marriage.

Goodbye Cruel World (James Darren Song)
"Goodbye Cruel World" is a song written by Gloria Shayne, which was most famously recorded by James Darren in 1961. Background The song is about a man whose heart was broken by a "mean fickle woman", and his plan to join the circus as a brokenhearted clown. He does not mind being shot out of a cannon, and plans to tell the world that she "made a crying clown" out of him. According to disc jockeys at the time the song was released, the calliope-like riff used in the song based on the "Entrance of the Gladiators" theme, was a synthesized recording of a woman's voice rather than a musical instrument. Chart history Darren scored his first top ten hit on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100, at number three. On the '' Cash Box'' Top 100, it spent two weeks at number two. It would prove the biggest hit of his career on this chart, as well as on the UK Singles Chart (no. 28). Popular culture *Darren, playing pop idol "Kip Dennis", performed the song on a late 1961 episode of ''The Donna Reed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Goodbye Cruel World (Pink Floyd Song)
"Goodbye Cruel World" is a song by Pink Floyd. It appears on their 1979 double album, ''The Wall''. Composition A quiet song, the Prophet-5 analog synthesiser provides the D major chord sequence: D, G, D, A, D, while the bass guitar plays the root notes and their octaves. A similar bass riff was used in the earlier Pink Floyd songs " Careful with That Axe, Eugene" and the fade-out of "See Emily Play". Plot As with all tracks on ''The Wall'', "Goodbye Cruel World" relates to the listener a segment of Pink's (the album's protagonist) story. More specifically, this song expresses Pink's recognition of the completion of his mental wall, and acknowledgement of his thorough isolation from society. Live versions In all performances of ''The Wall'', both by Pink Floyd and in Roger Waters' solo career, the song represents the end of the first half of the show. The wall is built, apart from one brick. Waters appears in this small gap and as he sings the final word, "goodbye", the last ...

It'll succeed this time on the Sister's momentum alone, thus injecting another dose of sexy, sinister glamour into the impressionable minds of the nation's youth."
