Leaving (Pet Shop Boys song)

"Leaving" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys from their eleventh studio album, Elysium (2012).

[6] Recording in Los Angeles for Elysium, producer Andrew Dawson gave the song what Chris Lowe called "that LA sheen".

[4] Dawson brought in veteran local musicians, including backing vocalists Oren, Julia, and Maxine Waters and James Fauntleroy to sing harmonies, and percussionist Lenny Castro.

The photo of Lowe (pictured) shows him in profile wearing a quilted hat by JW Anderson, with flaps covering his eyes and neck.
