“Goodbye Number One” tells the story of a relationship that lived entirely outside the rules; a decade of wild pleasure, secrecy, and connection that couldn’t last. The narrator looks back on a love hidden in the shadows: blind dates that set hearts on fire, experiments and adventures “off the grid,” and years of irresistible chemistry.
But now, the person once considered “number one” has vanished; no social media, no contact, no trace. The song blends explosive blues-rock energy with deep emotional reflection, capturing both the thrill of forbidden passion and the pain of losing it forever.
This is not just a goodbye, it’s the end of a secret world.
The song explores the contrast between:
Intensity in the past vs. emptiness in the present
Pleasure without boundaries vs. a reality that eventually catches up
Someone extraordinary vs. someone now unreachable
The repeated line “Goodbye my number one” reveals both gratitude and heartbreak.
While society may have labeled it “wrong,” the narrator sees it as the most vivid part of their life, the one they will never forget.
The song is about:
Missing the person
Missing the fun
Missing the version of yourself that existed with them
Sometimes the hardest goodbyes are the ones you can’t say out loud.
Musically, the track is a punchy blues-rock blend with:
Driving up-tempo groove built for movement and energy
Gritty electric guitar riffs emphasizing desire and tension
Bold vocal delivery balancing nostalgia and rebellion
Call-and-response sections reinforcing emotional urgency
A chorus that sticks like the memory the narrator can’t let go
The lively instrumentation contrasts beautifully with the deeper melancholy in the lyrics; a soundtrack for memories that still burn.

A blind date
On Friday late
First contact in a parking lot
A short talk made us so hot
We went inside it deserved a shot
Eyes touching made us more hot
Body language aroused desires
We both wanted it we were on fire
We went upstairs crossed the border
We gave ourselves to each other
What happened then was so crazy
What happened then was so crazy
We had fun outside the rules
A decade of pleasure a decade of drool
Eve I’m gonna I’m gonna mis you
I’m gonna mis the fun for two
Whenever we then met
Those times I won’t forget
The things we then did
They were so off the grid
Crazy experiments
Those should never end
Mad expeditions
To next dimensions
Goodbye my number one
Goodbye my number one
Goodbye my number one
Goodbye my number one
You now are gone
Are we really done
No sign of life
Are you still alive
Where are you now
Where are you now
We had fun outside the rules
A decade of pleasure a decade of drool
Eve I’m gonna I’m gonna mis you
I’m gonna mis the fun for two
We were professionals
In being illegals
We didn’t really mind
Leaving all behind
It was amazing
I still am craving
Of all my dates
You reached the first place
Goodbye my number one
Goodbye my number one
Goodbye my number one
Goodbye my number one
I cannot ask your man
Where are you then
On social media
I cannot see ya
Where are you now
Where are you now
We had fun outside the rules
A decade of pleasure a decade of drool
Eve I’m gonna I’m gonna mis you
I’m gonna mis the fun for two
We had fun outside the rules
I’m gonna mis the fun for two
Goodbye my number one
Goodbye my number one
A secret, passionate relationship that lasted a decade, and the pain of losing someone unforgettable.
The lyrics were written by Joseph J Nota.
Up-tempo blues rock with emotional depth.
The narrator’s most intense and unforgettable partner, the person who ranked above all others. She is called Eve.
The lively groove reflects the wild fun, while the lyrics reveal the deep longing underneath.
She has disappeared, no social media, no trace, making closure impossible.
It hints at forbidden encounters, secrecy, and experiences beyond normal relationships.
The woman from the blind date, though the name may be symbolic for temptation and desire.
The inability to let go; the farewell keeps returning, just like the memories.
A mix of thrill and sadness; celebrating the fire of the past while mourning its end.
