“The video is actually us recording the take that we put out,” Position Mannequin shared in an Instagram Story. “Ain’t no lip-syncing, no match cutting. We put two cameras in there, because we recorded the original version in Noah’s living room with that mic. Miss Laufey was kind enough to come in and do that. Nothing fake about it, because that’s just super vulnerable and raw and honest of us. That’s what music is about.”
Position Mannequin’s authentic solo model of “The Longest Goodbye” appeared on Kansas Anymore (The Longest Goodbye), the deluxe version of his album that was launched in February.

Her voice is timeless, and that was kind of the word of the day when I was originally writing that song last year. I wanted to end the album with a very sonically timeless and classic song, and her voice brought it there for me.”
