This is Farewell From Jem and the Holograms is one of my favorite songs AND scenes from the show. 

I think the reason I love it, is because as the last song of the last episode of Jem and the Holograms, it's a big sendoff to all the fans who watched and loved the series up to that point.

While it's in universe a song saying goodbye to one of the foster girls , who'd been reunited with her birth father in a touching scene (THOUGH MOST OF THE EPISODE WAS FULL OF PERIL AND A BRIEF EXPLORATION OF HER DAD'S PTSD) ... it's also a goodbye to all the fans watching. A promise that for now it was farewell....but it wasn't forever. Someday, perhaps, they'd be back. Or at least they'd always be there when you wanted to go back and watch the series again. 

 

I love this scene. All the characters...enemies and friends alike...getting together and singing their goodbyes. All the amazing vocal talents of the show coming together for a sweet, warm, and bright send off to one of my favorite shows of all time. 

It's an optimistic ending, in the end, even if it brings tears to my eyes.
