Wow B.D., I don't know how you did it, but you did it masterfully. The emotion comes through with every syllable. I'm very sorry for your pain, your dad's pain and the loss of your mother. She has left behind a son who has now shared some of her memory with all of us, and I thank you for it. Hang in there. Eventually the sun will shine again, and as in your song, you will be able to see her smile like the first sunray after a long rainy day.
Brad

B.D.,
So sorry for your loss . . . so tough to lose a parent, tougher yet to lose a spouse. A sad tune . . . but for me, they always seem the best, simply because the emotion is real and true; happy songs rarely touch the soul in the same way. This is excellent . . . in all aspects from the write and the production.
So, the vocal is what takes this over the top for me . . . I know you typically use vocaloids, but that’s not what this is, is it? (There are breaths and pauses that I don’t associate with vocaloids). But regardless, a terrific vocal that makes this shine.
Good stuff
Deej

Brian,
So sorry for your loss. My hearts goes out to you.
This so is beautiful. Is that you on vocals? It sounds really good. (If it is a synth it sounds incredibly real.)
I wish you comfort and healing in the days ahead, my friend. Thank you very much for listening and your wishes, David. Much needed and appreciated ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Di and I wish you and your family strength and peace as the days come and go.
The vocal so vividly reveals the pain. You have captured the dark pit such a loss puts you in. A well-done song about a a very sad event.
Alan & Di Many thanks for your kind wishes, Di and Alan. I wish you both all the best too. I know your lives are not exactly easy these days.

You so beautifully expressed your loss and we, among so many, have felt such grief and witnessed one of our parents coping with such a loss.
Janice read the lyric before listening and said, “he is right, you’re never really prepared.”
We hope that the memory of your Mama’s smile gives your comfort and that time helps to ease your heartache.
It is a fine production in all aspects.

Hello Brian
I am very sorry that you and your family are so sad now.
But as a musician you did the right thing. You wrote a song about it.
That's exactly what helped me to find my way out of the endless sadness.
And you know what? This must not have been the last song about your mother.
I hope that your sadness will soon give way to the joy of having had such a great mother.
She would definitely be very proud of you and wouldn't want you to be sad.
One sentence about your song:
You have really written an extremely emotional song that gives an idea of how you are feeling at the moment.
But where things end, something new begins and when I heard how fantastically you sang this song,
I really wonder why you have your songs sung by AI voices!!!
My brother Wolfgang and I wish you and your family a lot of strength
and all the best to get through these difficult times
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Thank you both for your really nice and comforting words, Andi and Wolfgang. That means a lot to me. And you're absolutely right, I wouldn't have thought it, but the song is indeed a kind of therapy and helps.

[ Sorry for the late replies, my life is pretty chaotic these days and I'm just trying to catch up ] Hi Brian.
I know how I felt when my mother died. RIP.
Your song feels real and brings back a memory for me.
Vic Thank you, Vic, for your kind and supportive words. Even though it hurts, the beautiful memories will stay in our hearts forever.

I'm so sorry for your loss ... the emotion and pain can be felt a mile away, in this one. No words, beside saying: beautiful, beautiful song. Wishing you peace. Thank you for your kind words, James. Much appreciated

What a great song to express how you feel now. Sorry for your loss, I can feel your pain in my heart. Those words are truly powerful and describe the loss so personally. Very emotional vocal performance.
All your songs are creative and speak to me, but this one speaks especially more.
Janne Thank you very much, Janne, for your kind and positive words. I really appreciate it.

Such an emotionally true song, I can feel the hurt.
My condolences and wishes for healing, acceptance and strength as time carries on. Thanks a lot, BT. It gets better from day to day, but there are always those moments when the feelings become overwhelming out of nowhere. But that's nothing compared to what my dad has to go through each day...

 You know! The saddest part of life. What an extraordinary song, Brain. Such strong emotion. Your lyrics are perfect. That is indeed the saddest part. It's the first close member of my family to be gone, and I (we all) have to learn to deal with it. Thank you, Marty!
