goodbye isn’t necessarily a goodbye — a final, dramatic parting. The french phrase ‘au revoir’ is a different sort of goodbye, one that implies a distant, romantic destiny: ‘Until we meet again.’ But such farwells are especially hard to say to someone you have learned to love, because, after all, love changes you forever. That change can be spurred by the simplest of things: a conversation, a shared meal, a hug at the door. But these marks, left on the heart, mind, and soul, can hurt terribly too, especially when they exist as memories instead of longed for realities. On his latest single “See You Later,” Alexander 23 tries to delay the inevitable out of fear of hurting his lover. So instead of cutting ties completely, an emotional compromise is made: he bids her an ‘au revoir’ instead of an absolute goodbye, tempting the fates themselves. See You Later - Alexander 23 I don’t want to go, but I can’t afford to miss this flight I paid money I don’t have just to see your face for the night I don’t want to go, but to stay would only make it worse Sometimes, the only way to get over her is to hurt I pack my bags, pack my bags so full, I can barely zip it I pack my bags, but the best I had Oh no, I couldn’t fit you in it There is a lot to like on this single: Buttery guitar licks and a crispy backbeat are overlaid with strong overtones of buzzing synths and zesty acoustic plucking, creating a charming, mid-tempo composition that fits perfectly with Alexander 23’s skillful crooning. Like most indie-pop ballads, the song’s breakup-induced mournfulness is tempered by warm sonic elements, like a roaring fire blazing amidst a blizzard. But for Alexander 23, this ballad, though lyrically about heartbreak and sitting with the burden of memory, is personally motivated by feelings of kindness, namely gratitude.
