Contemporary Philadelphia folk hero Langhorne Slim has recently released his new album Be Set Free and has hit the road to bring his new music to the masses. Below you can check out his first single “I Love You But Goodbye.” It opens with an airy piano melody by keyboardist David Moore before Langhorne begins his melancholy tale of love lost, singing, “Why did you come if you can’t stay forever?” He continues his defeated words against a dynamic soundscape before ending the song a hopeful note, “I wanna thank you honey, / For all that you’ve given. / I wanna thank you for being my friend.”
