“Say Goodbye” by Dave Matthews Band

"Say Goodbye" turns up on Crash, the second Dave Matthews Band studio album, which RCA released on April 30, 1996, after sessions that stretched from October 1995 into January. Matthews wrote it on his own and sings it over his acoustic guitar, and Steve Lillywhite both produced and mixed it.

The color comes from everybody else. LeRoi Moore runs through alto, tenor and baritone sax, flute and even a whistle, Boyd Tinsley plays violin and electric violin, and Stefan Lessard doubles on bass and piano, while guest Tim Reynolds adds acoustic and electric guitar. It's a busy, generous arrangement, tucked onto what became the band's best-selling album.
