Dear friends,
I wrote and recorded this song a few days after my father died in August 2016. I kept meaning to make a better recording as I found it so hard to sing this without the tears. So I decided to wait until I felt stronger. I tried a few months later to re-record the vocals but I still couldn’t manage it. Time passed and I almost forgot about the song until recently when a dear friend passed.
I listened back to the song with a view to try re-recording vocals again but as I listen to these original vocals I hear the sweet raw tenderness that I felt with the grief of loss of my father and realised this song is meant to be just as it is.
So nine years later I’ve decided to share the song just as it is.
I hope that others going through grief find some comfort and solace in this song.
