Thanks Tricia…. I spent lots of years in choirs before I started guitar this year. I was happy with how well this song went.

Wowzers! First of all, good job strumming the chords and using a barre chord. You are on the journey. Secondly, as already noted, beautiful voice. Last, but not least, emotion. Sincere, heartfelt, touching. You made me feel the song. Kudos!

Lecassamdra, you do have a beautiful voice. I’m like a truck driver, and you’re a sweet songbird. I understand that raw emotion of the song, because I’ve had to deal with a lot of loss of some very special people to me. The grieving and the love bolster the beauty and emotion of a song like this. I began playing during Covid, in order to save my life and to deal with the isolation of being a caregiver to my mother with Lewy Body dementia. It was the saddest thing I’ve ever witnessed and experienced. It was the loneliest I think I’ve ever been. I had to buy keyed locks for the inside of the doors. I wore the key around my neck , so my mother couldn’t get out and get lost, fall and get disoriented. It was for her safety. She sundowned, and I had to be up all night to make sure she didn’t get hurt, and then I was up all day working, and being a full time caregiver. I became so depressed and I picked up guitar as a means of survival, and because music brought me to my happy place.

It’s amazing how music can help like that in times of loss and loneliness.
