"Goodbye Mr. Blue" comes from Chloë and the Next 20th Century, the 2022 Father John Misty album, and Josh Tillman wrote every note and word of it. He produced it with Jonathan Wilson, who mixed it with Dave Cerminara, and Drew Erickson's arrangement dresses it in soft, sepia-toned finery. It's a gentle, unhurried country-tinged lament, all brushed textures and a crooner's melancholy, the kind of song that sounds as if it has been playing on a late-night AM station for decades.
