Learning to say Goodbye 🎵 Inspired by: “Do You Know Where You’re Going To” – Diana Ross

In this episode of Good Vinyl Mornings, host PL Sweets leans into the art of letting go: learning how to say goodbye to seasons, people, or dreams that no longer serve you. The soundtrack to our reflection is Diana Ross’s stirring classic “Do You Know Where You’re Going To.”

Originally released in 1975 as the theme for the film Mahogany, the song was written by Michael Masser and Gerald Goffin, and became one of Ross’s most haunting ballads. It poses deep questions: “Do you know where you’re going to? / Do you like the things that life is showing you?” Its melody carries both nostalgia and courage. 

PL Sweets uses this song as a mirror. Sometimes the hardest goodbyes are internal: we stay in places because they’re familiar, even when our soul is turning. Through “Do You Know Where You’re Going To,” we confront how reflection, mourning, and decision intersect. Because saying goodbye isn’t always a defeat—it can be a declaration: “I choose clarity. I choose my next chapter.” In the soft echoes of Diana’s voice, we find grace to release, resolve to move, and hope for what lies ahead.
