Description:
This track was written in memory of my father, who passed away on 10/18/2006 at 8:55 PM. It came as a shock to all who knew and loved him, but I know he is in a much better place, where there is no more pain and suffering. He was a great man and I love him dearly. He will always be with me in my heart, my mind and my soul. This is for you, my father.
This is most likely, my darkest track to date, and understandably so. I don't expect any rave reviews or votes or anything other than a good listen. I poured lots of emotion into this one and nearly broke down a couple of times during its creation. It still needs some work, but I'll get to it as time permits. Things are still a mess right now, and I feel that I might have rushed this piece. I hope you all can hear how I am feeling in this track and can appreciate it. Enjoy!

Thank you &mdash 10/27/06 - 12:44:53 AM
...for sharing this at such a difficult time. There are moments when music seems to express much better the things in our hearts that words cannot.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I feel it. &mdash 10/27/06 - 11:53:54 AM
I feel it Richard. This is really and truely a great track. I know you were and still are sad and going through a tremendous amount of pain and stress lately. Sometimes peoples best work comes from the strong emotions they are feeling. Shoot me an email when your feeling up to it.

Centuries of tribute &mdash 10/27/06 - 03:24:00 PM
I am sorry to hear of your father's passing, and I know from our discussions that he meant a lot to you and will be a part of you forever. As for the music, it is a very intriguing mixture... it sounds like "Mozart's Darkwave Requium", and you pulled that off really really well. I hate to compare, but again, this sounds like Galbatron... I gotta send you some of their MP3s, you'll be pleasantly surprised at some synth choices and the wonderful blending of electronica and classical/baroque elements that you and they do so well. Hang in there, great soul!
ttfn,

Still speechless... &mdash 10/27/06 - 11:43:59 PM
I listened to this much earlier today and was floored by this one. I spent most of the day thinking about what I'd write here and the significance this song has for you in dealing with such a sudden and tragic loss. This track is awesome and very emotional at the same time. I hope that you are doing ok. Shoot me an email, or if you still have my cell #, give me a call when you feel up to it. [ Reply to This ]

It is good to see you are still creating and posting. This post's peaks and valleys simulate life's harsh realities. I enjoyed the merge of classical and electronic elements. Your father would be honored that such a beautiful piece has been dedicated to him. [ Reply to This ]
Many thanks! &mdash 10/29/06 - 08:52:24 PM
Thanks to everyone! I appreciate all of you taking the time to come and take a listen and comment on my father's memorial track. Your comments are very valuable to me. Far more valuable than any vote. This has been and will be a very difficult time in my life. I am so glad that I was able to do this for him. I wish that there were more I could have done for him, both in life and in death. Once I get an album put together, I will dedicate it to him.
I will eventually write more upbeat tracks, but there will always be an underlying theme of loss and despair, i'm afraid. My music and my life will be changed forever, due to my loss. I can remember a time when I wasn't very close to my father (my teenage years), but in the past few years, I had been forming a much stronger bond with him. We began to talk on the phone for many, many countless hours about many, many things; cars, computers, life etc. We were seeing things on the same level. He would always tell me (especially in the past couple of years), how proud he was of me. I feel that I wasn't very deserving of that. To ME, the only thing I really feel I have to be worthy of, is bringing into the world my wonderful son. I was able to give him a grandson....which he never thought would ever happen. He would walk around looking so proud with the thought of becoming a grandpa.
Thank you: Mystified, Smokey Bacon Jnr, Ginz111, Drakonis, Mikey D & K.I.S.Kismet. I love and appreciate all of your prayers, thoughts, comments and support! Bless you all! Be well!

My deepest, deepest sympathies. Reading your comment below and hearing this emotive & pensive music just brought chills over me. What a sad and haunting song you've brought us -- I feel I owe you a thanks for allowing such "strangers" to share your pain and enter your world, even if it's just to say "I'm so very sorry, Richard", and send our most loving thoughts and wishes in your & your family's direction. Consider that done. Take all the time you need. We'll be here when you return. [ Reply to This ]
Miss C & _nderscore. &mdash 11/01/06 - 04:38:27 PM
I want to thank you both for stopping by for a listen to this very personal track of mine. I really appreciate all of your kind words and thoughts, during this difficult time. Like I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, I wish that I could have given him more in life and in death, but I feel like my hands are tied at times. This track still needs work, to be sure, but it basically sets the tone for how I have been feeling. You and _nderscore are so kind. Thank you two very much! Peace! Be well!
-Richard

Hello Richard ! &mdash 10/31/06 - 11:05:28 PM
I just want to say sorry for not writing something here before.
It is very difficult for me to find the right words in English.
I 'd like to find some expression to say how much I feel with you.
Losing your father was probably such a shock for you and I am sorry you had to experience that.
Please know that you not only have music but your friends to help you through these difficult times. [ Reply to This ]
