@rockfan a playlist is individual songs you throw together. You might be able to go to Pandora and put in “going away” as a search and it would pick for you. Otherwise you will get a whole lot of individual song selections. But it also depends on who is leaving and why. Here are mine:
Come Fly With Me – Frank Sinatra
Goodbye Stranger – Supertramp
You’ve Got a Friend – James Taylor (or Carole King)
Drinking my Baby Goodbye – Charlie Daniels
Take me Home – John Denver
You’re My Best Friend – Queen
If it is for a retirement or something like that:
Another One Bites the Dust – Queen
Up, Up and Away – the Fifth Dimension
