On August 1st 2025, after a long and hard faught battle, I lost my father to cancer. I've taken the time to grieve and heal and wanted to celebrate his life in my own way. I've rifled through a few of his CDs in his collection and picked out a few tracks that meant a lot to him throughout the years and some that have stuck with me as being something I consider to be quintessentially him.
I've split the tracklist into 4, where each quarter represents a genre collection.
I love you forever dad.
