Its a late goodbye…

I was just listening through an old playlist of mine… when I came across this song.. I loved it when I first heard it and had a lot of trouble hearing it again…  Actually I was blazing gunfire while playing Max Payne 2… Somehow managed to complete the last level. I have a habit (unlike many others) to go through the end game credits (makes me savour the moment ). The song was background score for the game credits. I liked it so much that I played the last level again to hear it… The song was by a group called Poets of the Fall, it was titled Late Goodbye. At it seemed apt to hear it as we said goodbye to the year (i know this is a overused cliche).. The lyrics of the song went like…

 

In our headlights staring,
bleak beer cans deer’s eyes
On the asphalt underneath
our crushed plans and my lies
Lonely street signs power lines
they keep on flashing flashing by
And we keep driving into the night
it’s a late goodbye
such a late goodbye
Your breath hot upon my cheek
and we crossed that line
You made me strong when I was feeling weak
and we crossed that one time
Screaming stop signs staring wild
eyes keep on flashing flashing by
And we keep driving into the night
it’s a late goodbye such a late goodbye
And we keep driving into the night
it’s a late goodbye

The devil grins from ear to ear
when he sees the hand he’s dealt us
points at your flaming hair
and then we’re playin’ hide and seek
I can’t breathe easy here
‘less our trail’s gone cold behind us
’til then the John mirror you stare at yourself grown old and weak
We keep driving into the night
it’s a late goodbye such a late goodbye
And we keep driving into the night
it’s a late goodbye such a late goodbye
And we keep driving into the night…

 So guys who’ve played Payne 2, listen to it.. Its really good..

(BTW, I figured a way to grab the song to mp3… so that i won’t have to play the goddamn last level and kill Vlad everytime I want to listen to it )
