goodbye songs
Musical send-off pieces
Songs performed at the end of a gathering, concert, or broadcast as a closing ritual.
Children's programs often feature goodbye songs to signal the episode's end: Can you sing the goodbye song with me?
At summer camps and schools, goodbye songs mark departures and transitions.
The term also applies to an artist's final recording before retirement or death.
