Riff: Ke$ha – “Last Goodbye”

Dec 3, 2012

When I was lost, I found you/When I was broke, you bought me shoes

from Last Goodbye lyrics by Ke$ha

With its propulsive banjo riffs and strutting military rhythms, Ke$ha veers dangerously close to the nu-folk of Mumford & Sons on this upbeat tale of heartbreak. Although it’s unlikely that the London poshboys have ever reminisced about the time they were so poor they couldn’t afford footwear.
