Melbourne singer-songwriter, performer and multidisciplinary artist Damen Samuel returns with Goodbye Tomorrow — a ten-song album exploring memory, connection, loss, identity and the urgency of living in the present.
Following two decades of recording and international performance across Australia, Europe, the United States and Japan, Goodbye Tomorrow marks the next chapter in an evolving body of work that connects music, storytelling, film and visual art.
Expected release: November 27, 2026
'Traces' is the second single from Goodbye Tomorrow. The song invites listeners on a musical journey, exploring the lingering echoes of past experiences and the profound impact they leave on our lives. It's a testament to the enduring power of memory – how certain moments, people, and feelings leave indelible "traces" that shape who we are, even as time moves forward. The track's introspective nature and storytelling are typical of Samuel's reflective style of songwriting, inviting audiences to connect with his deeply personal narratives on a universal level.
‘Close your eyes' is the first single from Damen's new full length album 'Goodbye Tomorrow'.
‘Close your eyes’ is a lullaby for the inner child in us. When life and the world around us become too much to bear, we just want to be held and reassured that things will be o.k. ‘Close your eyes’ is that soft hand on your shoulder, letting you know that you are not alone, that gentle voice telling you, “I got you”.
