Hi my friends,
I don't have much opportunity to come and comment on your superb creations (I'm sorry, but I listen to practically all of them on my phone) as I'm often with my wife in hospital. It's just a complicated period, but the worst is over. Don't worry

This song tackles a powerful and unfortunately very topical issue: suicide...
In this case, it's the suicide of a young girl whose family and friends fail to recognize the warning signs.
Bitterness, anger, but also great sadness.

Lyrics (Text does not match melody, but gives idea of meaning)

SO FAR FROM THOSE WHO LOVE YOU

Sunlight fills the room so bright,
Gentle warmth for a December light.
Everything feels so serene,
Little fragile queen.
Your thoughts mix with dreams untold,
Your eyes meet the dawn's first gold.
Your heart beats fast, like a bird's wings soar,
Leaving the water’s shore
To rise forevermore.

So high, we can’t follow where you’ve flown,
So high, we can’t survive that far, alone.
On a path so long,
Far beyond the horizon’s song.
So far from those who love you,
So far from those who love you,
So far from those who love you.


It seems like voices start to blend,
Are they the trembling wings of angels sent?
There’s a fragrance in the air,
Lighter than the ocean’s flare.
Life’s whirlwind carries you away,
As time ticks by, seconds stray.
Your eyes shine bright, like a beacon's glow,
Lighting a flag in the flow,
Raised higher as it shows.

A very powerful song about a tragic situation.
A very powerful vocal - excellent job on that.
Great backing band.
Super mix.

PS - I hope your wife fully recovers.


Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.
Me-I'm not John
Doc-I know, I am!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

So sad, Paul. Yeah, most people miss the signs. We don't hear enough stories of those who didn't miss them. Man, what passion in your vocal, and I am amazed at the strength of your range. Beautifully done and such a glorious composition.

So glad to hear the worst is over for you two, Paul. Enjoy a special Christmas.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Having spent our careers in the mental health field we certainly understand the tragic aspects of your tune.
Sad indeed but well done.

Best to you and your wife!
