This song is from the time just before my father passed away one year ago. 14 03 2022
I sat in his living room and recorded in the evenings in very poor conditions. I recorded to distract myself from the fact that my father, who was lying in his bed sleeping just in the next room was dying and very soon.
I was able to help him during his last weeks in life. It was a beautiful experience to take part of and very sad too. I came him very close in the end and there was just peace between us. Father and son.
Most of the lyrics I have lent somewhere from a poem in the public domain and You can hear the sorrow in my voice I think.
I wasn't really sure of releasing this at first and now I feel like it's a part of me grieving in the song and part of me creating something vulnarable and true.
Peace...
