Music News - Don McGlashan shares new single + NZ Tour Update
11 February 2022 - 0 Comments
Today, Don McGlashan shares the third single, All The Goodbyes In The World, from his new album, Bright November Morning, out Friday, 25 February. McGlashan also updates fans about the
planned album release tour due to start in March.
With the new album now only two weeks from release, the song, All The Goodbyes In The World, demanded it's moment in the spotlight pre album release. A guitar rich swaying summery
swoon cradling McGlashan’s sweet upper vocal register almost whispering;
“He quickly closed the door
Then opened it again
The goodbyes were all still there
He wondered how they could all fit in”
McGlashan says
about the song, “A while back, I was working on a song with Luke Buda (The Phoenix Foundation), and he showed up with a riff and chords that we both liked, but we didn’t end up using.
“Fast-forward a few months, and Luke gets in touch to say, ”That riff is still kicking around, why don’t you write some lyrics and a tune for it?” So I did. Lurking in one of my old journals was the idea of someone opening a cupboard, and coming across all the goodbyes in the world; suddenly that idea found a home.
“Left to my own devices, I might have gone for a minor-key setting - but Luke’s sunny riff and chords make the whole thing strangely cool. Don’t tell him I said that, though.“

Don McGlashan’s team have been working hard revising all of the current tour dates to assess what might be possible under the current Covid Protection Framework. Unfortunately but not unexpectedly, due to the latest outbreak of Covid-19 variant, Omicron, Don McGlashan’s album release tour has to be cancelled. Plans are afoot with new dates being worked on for the latter part of 2022. A Bright November Morning tour in November sounds romantic anyway right? All ticket holders will be emailed directions on how to receive their refunds.
Bright November Morning, is McGlashan’s fourth solo album, and is an essential addition to his remarkable output. It has all the glittering McGlashan touches in place: from the detail-perfect narratives of local life (the neighbours looking in when we take the curtains down, swimming and seeing Russian container ships on the horizon) to the strummy melodicism with detours into something noisier, and on to those welcome and welcoming choruses.
The new album was recorded in Lyttelton, Auckland and Vancouver, and full of inspired playing from Shayne P Carter (Straitjacket Fits, Dimmer), Chris O’Connor (SJD, The Phoenix Foundation) and James Duncan (SJD, Dimmer), Bright November Morning marks a new stage in Don McGlashan’s generous and humane songbook.
