Goodbye Old Town
No place feels like home. But what happens when yours doesn’t feel like that anymore? The duo band Pizza Daddy knows something about it, and they have written a song that frames this, “Goodbye Old Town”. Everybody who leaves at a young age knows what I’m talking about: that feeling of belonging is essential. Yet, once you leave our hometown, somehow, it won’t feel like before. Because when something in the inner part of yourself pushes you to leave, it’s because you need change. Not everybody is meant to stay in one place for the rest of their life. Leaving doesn’t mean that you don't have an affection for your place; it means that “home” is not tied to the place where we have been, but to the one where we can find peace and feel fulfilled. And the indie and spatial textures conveyed by “Goodbye Old Town” perfectly embrace this state of mind. Pizza Daddy, in fact, has shaped the song as a warm hug, with its nostalgic yet hopeful vibes. “Goodbye Old Town” feels like the anthem for all those who want to be understood and critiqued for leaving behind the place where they’ve grown up. It’s for all those people who are willing to do so for a reason. It speaks to those who search for meaning elsewhere, knowing that the courage to face emptiness can be painful, yet essential.
