Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Say Hello, Wave Goodbye (page 1/1) ------ performed by Soft Cell Beautiful song, straight from the heart | Reviewer: Holly | 1/30/2008 A beautiful song about a relationship that has run its course. The singer is looking for more to life than the life he has lived and him and the girl in mention cant make that happen together. The singer, sadly, has to say goodbye for the good of them both. A powerful song about a relationship that brings out the worst. hey anonymous | Reviewer: cheap | 1/1/2008 some girls are whores who cheat on their mates....i happen to regretfully be one of those awful people...so if you think its misogynistic---well then you must be a little naive to think that by him saying all he wants is a nice little housewife is putting down women. You see he could choose the beautiful wife-the one he adores-the one he loves-but continually hurts him and cheats on him and at least with that "nice little house wife" he will never have to worry about his heart being broken....that's the story get a sense of humour! | Reviewer: dory bell | 10/16/2007 come now, Anonymous, it's meant to be absurdly cruel and bitchy. life would be awfully dull if mean break-up songs had to adhere to standards of political correctness. I say this as a feminist. Misogynist crap | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/4/2007 It seems likely that this song is meant metaphorically, but nonetheless the metaphor would still be misogynist. "You were a sleep around", "take off that unbecoming frown", "to keep you secret has been hell" ... all of these lines are strictly taken from the aforementioned dust bin of history and a view on women that went mouldy a very long time ago. Not to speak, of course, of the "nice little housewife"... A great song lifted to a new level by David Gray's cover version | Reviewer: R.W.West | 1/25/2006 This is a great song about a relationship that never really took off and is to be consigned to the dust bin of history, as if it never happened. Should they meet on the street they are to act like they've met for "the very first time". There may be other levels to the song that I haven't picked up on but it seems unusual that this song seemingly about the dissolution of a straight relationship should come from the pen of Marc Almond. Almond's version features what could be some twee sounding electronica but it still works in conveying remorse andd resignation. David Gray's version, coda-ed with lines from a Van Morrison song gambols along with a heartfelt guitar. When I find something out about the origins of the song I'll get back to you.
