this track is dedicated to my best friend nic (known as @vowlmusic)

most of you know nic (vowl.) as a talented and polished musician, a bloke who is amiable, helpful and generous. he's passionate, dedicated and sets his goals high, and all of these traits definitely show in his music, which is as beautiful as it is technical. when i first met nic i was surprised at his comradeship; he was a guy who was focused about succeeding in all his hobbies, he had a great humour, a good nature and i felt like we had already known each-other for years. nic was the reason i began making music, i began taking skating seriously and the reason i started to have a more positive outlook on life. he was always there for everyone including me, and ensured that all of his friends were always okay, and he would constantly try his best to ensure the safety of those he loved, he tried his best to make his friends and family happy; because that is all he wanted. nic and his family's life has unfortunately hit an extremely rough patch lately, and i don't understand how unfair it is for a family full of good natured people to go through such a tragedy, and as a result i want to attempt to showcase how good of a person nic truly is; and i want him to understand that we all have his backs. we need to help him grieve, we need to let him know that we all support him, that all of his fans have his back during this tough time; because he would do the same for us. i understand that it's going to be a long and difficult process for you nic, but know that i and many others are by your side; we are here to support you through this. we are all here for you nic. i love you brother, and always will. <3
here is a poem i sent to nic when he told me about the tragic news, i decided to keep it here just in case he ever wants to read it again.

You leave behind such memories
That loved ones will hold dear
They'll take them down the path of life
Though that path may seem unclear

It's missing that bright sunny warmth
And those skies of blue
That always seemed to be there
When they walked that path with you

Today they gather together
As you watch them from above
And learn to walk a new life path
Now lit with just your love

They start out with uncertainty
It's not the path they knew
When they walked life's path before
Hand in Hand with you

Your light will never really fade
It gets brighter every day
As you lead them down the path
And you show them the way

So guide them with a gentle hand
Down that Path Unknown
And help them through the twists and turns
As they make their way back home

Those last few steps may be quite hard
And difficult to bare
But the path ends at Heaven's Gate
And they will find you there

So begin your journey today my friends
Keep pushing through the pain
He waits for you at Heaven's Gates
And you will be together again

-Emily Higgins

i love you so much brother.
