The song Goodbye was conceived as a follow-up to the success of Mary Hopkins first single, also produced by Paul McCartney, titled Those Were the Days, which was highlighted on her debut album Postcard, one of the first records issued by the newly-founded Apple Records. In later years, McCartney had little recollection of creating the song, which was written in a great hurry to capitalize on Hopkins popularity, but he did recall being told by a boat skipper from the Orkney Islands that it was the mans favorite song, which seemed appropriate to McCartney since, if you think of it from a sailors point of view, its very much a leaving-the-port song.
