It's So Hard to Say Goodbye

Before hearing this song, I had thought Boyz to Men was some rap group. But "boy," was I wrong. There is so much talent in this group, and I think that everyone should listen to this song. Besides the amazing talent, one of the great things about this song is that it is so straightforward. The group expresses their feelings in no round about way. They get to the point, and they get to the heart of the listener. Also, every listener can somehow relate to this song. There's always a time when you have to say goodbye to someone something.

For me, one of the hardest times to say goodbye was at my grandpa's funeral. He was such a influential person in my life, and it was hard to accept that I would never get to talk to him again. However, I knew he was happier and that he was with his wife, my grandma Bubbie.

Another moment occurred during the last show of "The Music Man." I still remember standing in the hallway leading to the exit of the theatre, saying goodbye to everyone. I was saying goodbye to all of those great experiences on the tour and to the people I truly loved. It's always hard to say goodbye, and this song vocalizes those feelings almost too perfectly.
