I'm looking for songs like in the title, which are most likely to be found as closing tracks on concept albums (but not necessarily), where the song lyrically seems to be saying goodbye to you the listener and thanking you for hearing the album.
The Killers - Exitlude and Beatles' Sgt Pepper Reprise were two examples I could think of, can anyone help me find some more like that?
my first thought too!
The Specials - You’re Wondering Now
Charlotte Adigery - Thank You
Farewell and Goodnight - Smashing Pumpkins
The Devil Makes Three - Goodbye Old Friend
Long Slow Goodbye - Queens of the Stone Age, Lullabyes to Paralyze
the album Before these crowded streets by dave matthews band starts with the lyrics “come and relax now leave your troubles, no need to bear the weight of your worries here let them all fall away”
and then ends with the lyrics “come in from the noise for a while, everything will be be all right…for now, good bye…friend, good bye”
Aqua - Goodbye To The Circus
The End by Pearl Jam
Alice cooper - I love America
Song To Say Goodbye by Placebo.
A few eminem albums end with a track where he literally says thank you for coming, hope you enjoyed the show.
Examples I can think of are at the end of "Untitled" from the recovery album and "Encore/Curtains down" from encore where the crowd are calling his name for an encore and he comes back out and starts shooting with a gun.
I love you all (radio edit) from Frank!
Dropkick murphys - until the next time
not literally, but
Pink Floyd - High Hopes
Queen - The Show Must Go On
Onigo Boingo - Boingo Live closes with "Good Bye Good Bye."

Adieu - Rammstein
Ladies and Gentlemen, Part 2 by The Presidents of the United States of America.
27 Questions - Black Midi
The song is about a performer ending his own life on stage as his final goodbye to the audience, seems fitting
J. Cole - Note To Self (off of his seminal LP, 2014 Forest Hills Drive)
‘Untitled’ at the end of Disintegration by The Cure. I believe at the time of the recording of the album Robert Smith believed it would be the last Cure record and so having it be a sort of goodbye to the listeners doesn’t sound too implausible to me.
That's not quite 27 but my chest feels awful tight, so thank you for listening, goodnight goodnight goodnight
Roger Hodgson on Supertramp’s Famous Last Words album, the closer is “Don’t Leave me Now”. It was his last album with the band;
“Don't leave me now, Leave me holding an empty heart, As the curtain starts to fall.
Don't leave me now, All alone in this crazy world, When I'm old and cold and grey and time is gone.”
Goodbye to a world - Porter Robinson, “Worlds.”
If you can get at all into EDM that borders on the anime side, it is very much worth listening to the album.
Goodnight Song, last track on Tears for Fears Elemental album.
03.45: No Sleep by the Cardigans
Good Night by the Beatles on White Album
I don't think it was their intention, but "Over Now" by Alice in Chains seems to fit.
Their Satanic Majesties Request - Rolling Stones - On With The Show
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Dissociation
They knew it was their last record.
Damn it you beat me to it. Oh well, Happy Trails!
So my only contribution will be:
"Goodbye" by Night Ranger, "Seven Wishes" album, 1985.
Goodnight Ladies by Lou Reed
The final track on the Phil Spector "A Christmas Gift For You" album....albeit not one that's quite as heartwarming to listen to these days as it may have seemed when it was first recorded.
Aside from that, there's the Flight of the Conchords S/t album which ends with a 22-second track called "Au Revoir".
David Bowie's Rock n Roll Suicide was a fantastic end to Ziggy Stardust.
Kid A - Radiohead I guess you can count it; "I will see you in the next life"
Jackson Browne: The Load Out/Stay
Bloodkin - End of the Show
