While the song “Good Bye” uses a motif from the very well known American indie rock band, Pavement. The album’s lyrics are about universal themes and topics, such as love, passion, friendship, and peace. The band’s musical style is modern neo-hippie rock, with elements of punk, reggae, country, and new wave sprinkled in.
