Lyrics
Raise a glass Towards the setting sun Yeah it hasn't been long It hasn't been long Another shot Of watered down patron It's the end of the road It's the end of the road for you No crying Cuz I'm buying You'll be flying With your head beating like a drum Another shot Of watered down patron It's the end of the road It's the end of the road Before you know it You'll be saying hello You'll be speaking the language You'll be calling it home Before we know it We'll be drinking without you We'll be thinking about you We'll be calling your phone Before you know it You'll be saying hello You'll be speaking the language You'll be calling it home Before we know it We'll be drinking without you We'll be thinking about you You'll be saying hello Hello Hello Hello Hello Halfway Across the world Do you like the food Do you like the girls Question When you get fucked up Do you think of us Do you think of us Take care Take care You're moving on Somewhere Somewhere You're gonna see it all Fresh start When you get fucked up Do you think of us Do you think of us Before you know it You'll be saying hello You'll be speaking the language You'll be calling it home Before we know it We'll be drinking without you We'll be thinking about you We'll be calling your phone Before you know it You'll be saying hello You'll be speaking the language You'll be calling it home Before we know it We'll be drinking without you We'll be thinking about you You'll be saying hello Hello Hello Hello Hello

Second single from Monterrey, the debut LP by LA “future indie” duo Limón Limón (Jason + Rand) featuring Scoobert Doobert. The irony is the title: Hello is a farewell song. B-Side Guys reads it as “a toast to new horizons”: someone you love is leaving for a new chapter, and calling it Hello is one way to face forward instead of back. Melodic Mag noted the Latin-leaning R&B/pop production and the way the song opens up cosmically: take you to space in hello is the image they reached for.
Monterrey is the city in Nuevo León that gives the album its name, and the whole record has that dual-residency energy: Limón Limón rooted in LA but looking south. Hello sits toward the end of the record as the bittersweet moment before the close.
Luke Francis Walton's role is collaboration / feature, not production for Limón Limón: he's a voice in the room, not the engineer. See With Limón Limón · Catalog: collaborations.
