To many, Sloan is one of today's quintessential Canadian bands, as cliche as it might sound. Since their debut EP Peppermintin 1992, the fab four - Halifax natives, now relocated to Toronto - have forged a distinct niche for themselves in the Canadian scene. The outfit includes Jay Ferguson and Patrick Pentland on guitar, Chris Murphy on bass, and Andrew Scott on drums; each have their own unique songwriting voice and style, each contribute equally. Sloan's humble beginnings with the aforementioned EP led them to a signing with David Geffen, where they released Smearedthat same year. Following that album and hailed as "Canada's Nirvana," they took a sharp turn with Twice Removed(1994) and never looked back.

I Love A Long Goodbye Lyrics

Sloan

(C. MurphySloan)
And though no one knows for certain
Where or when I'll draw the curtain
It's because it's been said that
I love a long goodbye
We broke it off I've not forgotten
But I thought that this could be
An opportunity for us to try
To examine my reluctant leaving
Since I'm sad and if you're lonesome call
I love a long goodbye
Ooooh
That's unworthy of me
Mind you
I need to know you love me
Look at things from my perspective please
Just what about me makes my motives seem
So hard to justify
Talk to me tomorrow
I might have another story
I'll make sure I do
I love a long goodbye
Ooooh
That's unworthy of me
Mind you
I need to know you love me
Goodbye, you
Can know this for certain
I love you
And I hate to draw the curtain
