Hi All, Here's a song for a recently departed family member... This is called Goodnight Meko. Spring storm blowing north to the Maritimes New York in its sights somewhere along the line And all I can see is the distance in your eyes The years have run out and your body is breaking down No matter what I try I can’t bring you back around You were born in April of 2001 We brought you home under a July sun And the world was younger before September came So many years have brought the past back to our door Sometimes you still look the same as you did before Every single day burns and fades to night Sometimes we can’t see the dark through the light And the end of the road is just the end of the road Now the years they gather like black birds on a winter wire Feather by feather they build their own horizon Spring storm blowing north to the Maritimes New York in it’s sights somewhere along the line And all I can do is kiss you a final goodnight Seventeen years like sweet distance in my mind Running low and fast as we hand you off to time All BIAB Tracks: 1293: Bass, Acoustic, TexMexCountry Ev 120 1118: Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 691: Guitar, Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming AcRockBright Ev 120 833: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm AltCountryMoody Ev 075 2541: Pedal Steel, Background ModernPopCountry Ev 110 RealDrums: NashvilleEven16, Snare, HiHat Thanks for listening.

Bob,
Your song - and your picture of Meko - broke my heart. Sorry for your loss...
A beautiful tribute, beautifully executed.
"And all I can do is kiss you a final goodnight
Seventeen years like sweet distance in my mind
Running low and fast as we hand you off to time"
Wow.

This song is so sad, yet filled with happiness at the nostalgia. It had a genuine ache to it. A really lovely tribute to a family friend.
Sorry for your loss.
Cheers,
Ember

Wow - this is absolutely stunning, Robert. It is all too common you hear people downplay the effect a pet has in a household, but they are most definitely a member of the family. I've lost pets too, and have felt how devastating it can be. This is a wonderful tribute, and really touched me. The song comes straight from the heart, and it is easy to tell that. You should be very proud of this one - thanks for sharing with us 
Cheers,
Deryk

Bob,
A fine sensitive tribute that really made me feel the loss.
Have to share this with my wife as she went through something very similar not long ago.
Thanks for sharing such a personal song.
