For Saskia and her dad (1935-2021)


[Rough English translation]
SOMEWHERE STILL HERE
Hey Dad, how are you
It's been a while
I miss you
I can still see you standing
Behind the front door
From the nursing home
How you kept waving
When we had to go

You couldn’t find your place
Didn’t get used to it there
You wanted to go home
With us
Until you forgot
Where your home was
Who everyone was
It all happened so fast

But it feels like you are somewhere
Somewhere still here with me
And know what I think

Hey Dad, I still see us
Together enjoying
Concerts by Bach
You with closed eyes
You were there for me
When I got depressed
That I was not alone
Spoke out of your face

And it feels like you are somewhere
Somewhere still here with me
And know what I think

Sometimes you were struggling
You could be angry, stubborn
Did not know what to do with yourself
The helplessness of your childhood
You came back to that again
A child, now skin and bone
That was always on its own
All alone

Hey Dad, I would
Like to talk to you
While I rub your shoulder
Somewhere still here, somewhere on earth
Where you are with me

got no thoughts with healing
and I keep the glove.

now my mom is worried 
and i lost my love.

never had any experience
of getting the belt.
 
and this songs about the time
I tried to kill myself.
 
if I tried to scream 
would anybody hear me?
 
or would I just look psycho 
and have nobody near me?
 
only resemblance of you 
is a pillow at night. 

wish I had a better coping 
mechanism damn right. 

blocking me on everything 
you do not wanna work it out.

and I'm starting to think that
suicides the best way out.

all of it is gone because 
you just stayed quiet.

started to think I'll feel
better if my brain was quiet.

and I even cut myself 
a little bit of times.

I don't know why I did it
but it felt so right.

I don't know maybe right
solution is some beer
I would give all of the world
just to get the chance to see her.

got no thoughts with healing
and I keep the glove.

now my mom is worried 
and i lost my love.

never had any experience
of getting the belt.
 
and this songs about the time
I tried to kill myself.
 
if I tried to scream 
would anybody hear me?
 
or would I just look psycho 
and have nobody near me?
 
only resemblance of you 
is a pillow at night. 

wish I had a better coping 
mechanism damn right. 


the time i tried to kill myself

Welcome to my channel! I'm Dave Curl, a Singer-Songwriter with English-Australian roots, born and raised in Switzerland. I have been passionate about creating and performing my own music since 2015, creating my own unique folk-pop-rock sound. 
On February 11, 2025, I released my single, Fool in Love—an upbeat pop track about the rollercoaster of love and the insecurities that come with it. The song holds a special place for me, as I wrote the first layout of it thirty years ago when I was in my twenties...
My new single “Casual Business Workspace” is dropping 22 May! It’s an uplifting pop-rock track about connection, creativity, and those special places that feel like home:)
