New Single “For Those I Lost” is out now.
This song is about losing loved ones and dealing with living life without them being a part of it anymore.
It’s hard to deal with the immediate and sudden loss of someone we know and love.
Sometimes the pain and grief can last for years and feel like it will never end.
It can feel like it just happened, even though the person has been gone for a long time.
It is important to remember the person and cherish the great times you had together.
You must move on and do the things that they would have wanted to see you achieve in life.
I wrote this song not knowing that it would be about the loss of loved ones.
The chords came out naturally and as I was writing it I started to think of my father.
Remembering the times we shared and how I wished so many times that I could simply just talk to him.
To hear his voice one more time and talk about all of the amazing moments we had together.
As I played each section flowed out naturally and it became evident that I was writing for him.
The memories became chords and gentle rhythms across my guitar strings.
As I recorded and started to lay down the other tracks, I couldn’t help to think of my dear cousin that I had lost in recent years.
We grew up together and had a lot in common like twins that were separated at birth.
We would laugh and talk about the future, Imagining the great lives we would have.
Spending summers together laughing and feeling like the world was ours to take.
These memories helped to bring the song more to life as each new note and chord was recorded.
I thought of my Grandmother, Who was the sweetest person I have ever known.
Always caring and loving to the family and taking care of everyone until the very end.
The perfect Grandma with a heart that was too big to measure with words.
Her unconditional love became the symphony of notes caressing the gentle chords they surrounded.
I also thought of my friend Denis that was like a second father to me and a mentor.
He was a kind and giving man that would always put others ahead of his own needs.
He believed in simplicity and kindness over everything else.
His generosity and love was unlike anyone else that I have ever met.
For him I kept this song simple and straight to the point along with guitar cries using his old guitar in his honor.
This song is a memorial to all the loved ones that I have lost throughout the years.
These are the main influences that went into the making of this song and the lyrics.
I hope this song can help you to release the grief from your losses and be able to remember the amazing times that we shared with our lost loved ones.
Writing this song, It’s lyrics and even this post has been a huge help to dealing with these losses.
It helps to write down your feelings and speak to those that have passed on.
This was the hardest song to record, Write lyrics to and especially to sing.
Do what you can to move forward in life and honor the memories for those you lost.
