Hi everyone,

I made a melancholic song about 'empty nest' feelings a couple suffers from. It is called That Morning: https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130/that-morning

Some of us know what this is. I wrote it when I saw how my sister-in-law was bothered by this when her last child left the house. I fantasized about this situation and that's how the song was born (...).

The song starts with only a guitar, and a verse later another one. But slowly more instruments enter and the song becomes more intense. I hope you like it. It is a bit different than the latest songs I made lately and...it is no Blues-melody, but I used an accordion!

The lyrics:
That morning
(c) HWBerkhout, 280620

I didn't notice, it crossed our way
Time altered our day
Children grow up, we helped them do
Not always easy, that's true

Then came that time, they don't need you
And they leave home too
Parent fears such event,
wishing it could be bend

It was that morning
When we woke up like before
We listened intensely
To the sounds that are no more

Peace came upon us
Resignation filled our day
I saw your eyes smiling
I knew then pain slipped away

The fun bustle left no trace
Silence took its place
Their empty rooms are all we've got
But memories fill the a lot

Oh, it was that morning
When we woke up with a smile
I closed my arms around you
And we laid there for a while

Peace came upon us
Your heartbeat I did feel
I cradled you so gently
While our feelings still heal

I haven't learned yet how life may go
but we have each other, we know
Getting older with a bond so strong
This is how we come along

Oh, it was that morning
When we woke up with a smile
I closed my arms around you
And we laid there for a while

Peace came upon us
While we nestled in our bed
I cradled you so gently
We laid there, nothing said

Yes, peace came upon us
While we nestled in our bed
I cradled you so gently
We laid there, nothing said

It's all we both wanted
Silence we now share
We conquered eternity
Only we were not aware
