Toe - グッドバイ Goodbye Feat. Toki Asako 

Who still listening this on 2024?

peaks to the feeling of loneliness and disconnection one can feel from being surrounded by people who do not truly understand you. The lyrics suggest that the speaker is facing a lot of internal conflicts, yet already knows that the start is the end, potentially suggesting that despite the internal struggle, there is nothing that can be done to change the current situation. The speaker is not able to properly communicate with those around them, leading to feelings of unease and anxiety. The instrumentals used in the song further emphasise the sense of disconnection, with a melancholic melody suggestive of the overall feeling of helplessness. The song thus speaks to a feeling of alienation due to being unable to effectively communicate and express oneself, and ultimately coming to terms with the fact that goodbye might be the only solution.

Jesus christ, I dont think ive seen anything better than when the drummer starts hammering, and everybody starts screaming. You can see the breakdown on their faces.

This was the first song I heard from toe, and was blown away. I made myself a goal to see them live - 7 years later they came to my home city (Dublin) and I was up the front, could reach out and touch them. When they played Goodbye, it was probably one of the most mindblowing things I''d even seen and heard. What an amazing experience.

Look at all these different beautiful countries coming together in this comment section. Music truly is the great unifier.

At 6:40 the drummer and everyone else loses their shit and leaves their body to travel to some awesome astral plane... Asako-san sees this and is trying not to laugh. What an amazing song, pure brilliance.

This song actually helped me through depression and grief. Losing a parent was rough but the passion they have in the song is like the passion you use to pass through the pain of tragedy. The last part is the "letting go" of grief finally. And that final rock-out was my goodbye to my parent. This song man, it's my personal theme song.

I think this is up there in best recorded performances of all time, must be preserved

The greatest math rock band of all time.

I just found out about this band last week. Listened to 4 albums in a row. Holy shit, how can I go back in time and tell myself about them 20 years ago?

Toe is the kinda band that makes life-saving music for anyone struggling to live. That's their magic and gift.

The drummer is almost freaking out, at the end, I love it.

This live version is everything

I've felt very alienated and distant from people for most of my life, but these melodies and harmonies really bring a sense of calm and warmth to me. Feels less lonely. Thank you Toe.

Love how the drummer is so into it he hits the symbol off the stand

I saw them in Manila last Nov 2019. One of the best nights of my life. You really gotta watch toe live at least once in your life. It was a night to remember. I hope to see them again after this pandemic is over.

I keep coming back, this has to be the most passionate performance I’ve seen. They’re dripping with emotion and energy. I just love this

i like how everyone is just chilling and the drummer is just going ham on the snares

This is the musical embodiment of what you call "Being in the Zone".

I don't know how about you, people who listen and watch this presentation, but I always cry. Every. Single. Time. Maybe is the passion in every riff and every rythm or the atmosphere or, I don't know, some kind of "magic" in the song that tears me apart. Is not like the studio version, this is something different and I cannot describe it.

This song transcends time and space. I’m not religious, but I feel deeply spiritual and just...connected to everything when I watch this. This is life, death, love, god, humanity packed into a 6 minute time span. This is the shit that keeps me alive.

Stuck in community quarantine here in Philippines. Supposed to fly to Japan to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and bun in the oven. I'll just let my baby in my womb listen your music for now. ❤

There is no one can understand me truly I don't go out, I will keep silence Everyone is mania in general You don't have To know others It's more complex than how I used to thought But already I know The start is the end Everyone is mania in general You don't have time to sleep For to know others Umaku todokanai nda Mata tsugi no fuan ka? A disruption and blinder Sono saki wa nai nda

I wish I could release my emotions like them at the end

土岐さんのVo入ってハウる所、現場のスリル感じられて寧ろカッコイイ。 日本の名曲は？と聞かれたらこれを推すね。

I watched Toe live in Singapore a few years ago. The lead singer was piss drunk and almost fell off the stage. Everyone seemed high as fuck. But the moment they started playing- they were so fucking on point! Their last song was 'Goodbye'. Everyone- the crowd, the band, the singer, just went all out! It was incredible, energetic, beyond words! Toe poured their heart and soul into every song and 'Goodbye' was their crescendo.

the way these guys play by the end, it litterally feels like there's a nuclear bomb that's going to go off soon, and this is the last time they get to perform their music, so much passion.

this is like communion, I have to re-watch it every few months

2022, and still watching this video. I love this live than the album version

Like a lot of people, Goodbye was the first song by Toe I listened to. became one of my favorite songs from the moment I stumbled upon It. Likewise, this became my favorite performance of Goodbye from the moment I watched it. Since then Toe became one of my favorite bands and I cant help but come back to this specific performance just to appreciate the sheer skill and talent that each of the band members had offered individually and the genius of the band all together. My mind was blown by the unmatched beauty math rock has the potential for. Although these days im more familiar with the genre, in many ways it still continues to blow my mind at how skillful and talented some of the creators of Math Rock are, and how amazing their music is. I wish for Toe many years of good fortune and well being for having blessed us all with their amazing art :D and that many more people can come to appreciate the genre like I have. Seeing at how this video has 1.1 million views as of the time im writing this, it seems that wish is becoming a reality ! Also, Here's a small list of mathrock bands I have come to enjoy that other folks might want to check out: ( maybe more people can help add to the list ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) 1. Toe 2. American football 3. Chinese football (also xD) 4. Free throw 5. Tricot 6. Delta sleep 7. Covet 8. Chon 9. Elephant gym 10. Totorro Alright, thanks to anyone who read that. You're a real sport xD ( and must have a great taste in music if you've found yourself at this video ( '

There is no one can understand me truly. I do not go out and I will keep silence. Everyone is mania in general. You don’t have time to sleep. For to know others. It’s more complex than how I used to thought. But already I know. The start is living life to the end. Everyone is mania in general. You don’t have time to sleep. For to know others. うまく届かないんだ また 次の不安か? A disruption and blinder その先はないんだ

This means so much to me to find this even if I'm 11 years late. This sort of art is what makes music what it is. So beautiful.

素晴らしいです。三年間東京に住んでたこのバンド聞いたことなかった。言葉ない、素晴らしい素晴らしい素晴らしい。素晴らしい雰囲気。

This is pure catharsis, I really really hope I can see them live one day.

Hope this masterpiece video will not be deleted like the other one

English and Japanese Lyrics (thanks to Arizal Fadhila (RU-vid User)) There is no one can understand me Truly i do not go out and i will keep silence Everyone is mania in general You don't have To know others It's more complex than how i used to thought Already i know The start is the end Everyone is mania in general You don't have time to sleep for To know others うまく届かないんだ (Umaku todokanai nda) また 次の不安か? (mata tsugi no fuan ka?) A disruption and blinder その先はないんだ (Sono-saki wa nai nda)

You only live once, never doubt yourself, never hesitate, go for what you want and do it with love. If you're sad just listen to this song and enjoy it. After that pick up yourself and continue to enjoy life. This life is not meant to live happily but to survive and tell everyone your story.

this song has no age

Always crack a big smile watching this performance at 6:40 like Asako does, perfect example of the joy of playing live music.

This video is the single reason why I got RU-vid premium because after years of it not having ads it suddenly had one in the middle of the song, which completely ruined the vibe

Mais uma vez o Henrique, do Quadro em Branco, me fazendo explorar esse lado bom do RU-vid.

This song feels so nostalgic, even though I only discovered toe last year

The drumming in this song will forever be my favourite! 🥁♥️

This is legendary. They give themselves completely to the music and their instruments. There's no better feeling in the world than when you truly let go of everything and give yourself to your craft. An inspiring performance to watch.

One of the greatest live performances in the history of math rock. Beautiful, emotional, interesting...

The drummer man wtaf. I get goosebumps everytime I watch this

Back after several years.. This is like a time machine of emotions..

This honestly is one of the most beautiful songs I've had the pleasure of hearing

もう13年前なのか、土岐さんの歌唱力の高さ褪せない

Still the best song ever even in 2024

The song is so unifier and great. For me, one of the best perfomances of a band in the world. The simple english mixing with some simple japanese lyrics and the instruments, it's a nice feeling to hear this song every time, it makes me relaxed and hopeful for a better future, this song is so complex that it's hard to define it, as says the song: "It's more complex than how I used to thought" All countries, all types of people and all type of personalities hearing this song is very beautiful.

The difference between playing music and giving yourself to the music. So pure and real. Mad love and respect for all these performers. If you get a chance to see them live, take it. You can literally hear the passion behind every single note.

もう10年くらいこれ見てる。最高

やっぱり最高だ 久しぶりに聴きに来て良かった

Recently found this song's music video. Fell in love with it then found out in the comment that it's actually a decade old, so I searched for it and found this beautiful version

This band is one of those gems I have to thank RU-vid for putting in my feed. I do not speak the language but the music is amazing and her voice is too.

i don't know how many times I listened this song.great drummer Kashikura!

This is my favorite song of all time.

The way Toe feels their own music is so beautiful to watch

This is their definitive version of Goodbye. Whatta song and whatta band Toe is, Asako-San gave her special sauce making it more mindblowing. And when the band gets pumped is impossible to stand still without freaking out with them

Easily the best live performance Ive ever seen without even being there

良いもの見れてよかった ほんと、ろくでもないことが続いていたから　　土岐さんも素敵だし、Ｔｏｅをゆーちゅーぶのお勧め？で知れたのも余計にうれしいなあ

This is one of those moments where you know everyone in that room knew something special was happening, right in front of them. One of those moments of actual magic, where everyone is humming at the same frequency. A very real, sincere, nervous energy. You pray to be a part of these, and are so very lucky if you so happen to be present

Don’t mind me, just here for my daily view

Goosebumps every single time. I'm not even sure how or why

トキアサコ、ドラムにツボっ笑いが止まらんくなってる（笑）

One of the many stunning things about this video is that, apart from a little mishandling of Toki's mic, the sound quality is every bit as good as the studio recording.

I got the chills, I won’t lie.

this set brings me to tears everytime I hear it. Just imagine how good they would have felt performing it!

They came to my country, and they held their concert in the freakin' museum, with square stage, up-close and personal with the audience. Took a few pills and spaced out with their music. well take asides the bad side, it was one of the best night in my life. hope you guys are well and keeps playing great music. cheers

最高の演奏に 土岐さんの素晴らしい歌唱が、、とんでもなく良いライブやね🎵 柏倉さんも熱い!!!!

Music beyond regionality, national character, and language

本当に美しいなこの曲が 全員のクオリティが高すぎる

It's been 10 years since, and i keep coming back for this masterpiece. They gave me goosebumps everytime!

I caught them live again last night in KL. They played Goodbye featuring a female vocalist. It was too perfect. I can still feel their music throbbing in my veins. Real geniuses!

初めてこのバンドを知りました。初めて聞きました。理由のわからない涙が出ました。

Absolutely masterpiece!!

This is one of my absolute favorite videos that exists. The transition at 7:05 always gives me goosebumps. I sure hope my neighbors like this because God knows they hear it often enough

thank you so much for this

Toe is amazing! I love this concert footage!

This has been my lullaby for the past year whenever i have trouble relaxing my mind and falling asleep. Thank you for posting.

Nothing but flawless! Toe and Asako san

Saw these years ago and still rewatching

AAAAAAAH I'm so happy I just found this video, to see this song live is giving me chills

I don't remember if I already commented this but, damn, it is so beautiful what happened during those few minutes. Thanks for sharing this amazing performance!

Absolutely incredible. So much passion from all the musicians

After 6years still brilliant over here... so amazing!

¡Me encanto!, Debo de explorar su discografía. :3

This is a masterpiece

for me it's one of the best live performances of all time, absolutely amazing and just so full of passion and emotion

That energy and superb aura was out of this world!

Já havia escutado antes, mas retornei para uma análise mais profunda graças ao Quadro em Branco

The amount of passion on the stage, truly beautiful.

my favourite version, the crowd cheers and the mic feedback just add to the song really

They finished the song like antennas to heaven.

they are so good. i'm crying watch this video. Amazing Performance !!!

The drummer is really feeling it!!

I keep coming back to this masterpiece everyday, thank you toe.

6:40 is fucking magical! GOOSEBUMPS

Can't believe I only just heard this recently. So incredible. It's getting me through a hard time right now
