Don't Leave Me This Way

We're taking the hint and looking for songs about leaving, exits, escapes and goodbyes.

Four decades ago, The Communards were pleading Don't Leave Me This Way. Tonight, we're taking the hint and looking for songs about leaving. Whether it's the Eagles being Already Gone, Paul Simon finding 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, or Fleetwood Mac urging you to Go Your Own Way, we're after the songs about exits, escapes and goodbyes. You can text us live on 80295, email the show at getiton@bbc.co.uk, join us on Whatsapp at 0800 92 95 00 or just ask your smart speaker to ask BBC Sounds to send a comment to Radio Scotland.
