ReStructure Mix Update (10/21/25): ”Baby Don’t Say Goodbye” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Dead Or Alive


Dead or Alive are one of the unforgettable bands of the 80’s dance scene. Pete Burns is the face of the band and took the focus with his menacing vocal approach and unique character. “Baby Don’t Say Goodbye” is from their 1988 project titled “Nude” - produced by Dead Or Alive. A dance number which outlines the end of a romance where the grip is hard to release. There is a lot of raw emotion in this recording from Burns who plays the delivery as forlorn as he can and it is felt throughout the song. This one was a big surprise for me as it contains the moody feelings of heartbreak yet relays hope in the memories which created the heart of it all. A nice long song delivered in the edge of 80’s synth-pop along with Pete Burns crooning with his devout performances.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental versions of “Baby Don’t Say Goodbye” and realigned this piece in the ReStructure Mix batter. A dramatic intro for the drama and of course a flowing and connected fade.
