Remembering my Dad + MP3 of the full song "Farewell Angel"
On Tuesday the 9th of May 2006, it will have been 3 years since my dad passed away. I wrote “Farewell Angel” the morning of his burial, I had planed to sing it at his funeral. Finally I just said a poem about what is left of a dear dad when he is no more, how he still lives in the offspring’s he leaves behind, how the love he gave never died, because love is eternal and lives forever in our hearts and in the parallel universe where everything is divine. I believe that every word uttered, every conscious thought, every time love blossoms from the heart, like the light never dies out and travels through time and space, like the dead stars that still reveal their former glory to us; our words and our love or hatred will be with us in eternity.
As I finish recording this album, I decided to record this song with an acoustic and a dynamic microphone I only use on stage, we did one take everything at once, no gimmicks, nothing technical. I wanted the song to come out like it would have sound, if I had sung it that day 3 years ago. I did not expect it to catch anyone attention, it was something very personal. Then something happened, many people who have listened to the album or had the promo version started calling me to tell me how they were touch by the song…
IN MEMORY OF MY DAD I WANT TO SHARE THIS SONG WITH ANYONE OUTHERE WHO CARES TO LISTEN AND IF IT TOUCHES YOU, COMFORTS YOU OR HELP YOU REMEMBER A DEAR ONE AND SEND A SMILE TO ETERNITY
WELL LET THE GOOD VIBES FLOW.
GOD BLESS
Farewell Angel
Sun has set
No candles will burn tonight
Sky is dark
No stars bring hope tonight
Shut my eyes
To escape my loneliness
Scream my lungs out
No one hears
In a room full of tears
I got no angel
To watch over me
I got no prayers
To be heard
Who listens anymore?
In my bed
I curled up like the boy I used to be
Try to hear
Your steps there’s only silence
Break from time to time
By my mother’s pain
I shiver
Spread too thin to cover
I got no angel
To watch over me
I got no prayers
To be heard
Who listens anymore?
You must be walking
This tunnel of everlasting life
Rays of light
Welcome you and warms you up
Will I ever
See you (and) touch you again
I got to believe it
I need to believe it
To go on
I got no angel
To watch over me
I got no prayers
To be heard
Who listens anymore?
Who listens?
Who listens?
When your angel is gone
Who listens?
Who listens?
Now that my Father’s gone
Now that my dad is gone…
