Please rest well great spirits! Lost my Dad 5 years ago and I can always relate to your losses!

Well done, and great voice work listening to...

Thank you for this beautiful piece.We lost our father Eric on September 28th 2022.I shall play this song on his 89th birthday on July 18th.

I can feel the emotion in that guitar work intro, nice pads supporting the track too. Nice vocal melody Nadia

Cool song, great vocals, and production!! 🌍 ☮︎ 👍

May his memory be eternal. Beautiful tribute.

NB: The germ of this song about my father, our relationship, and his unexpected passing in December, 2022, came about from listening to Garddwr Porffor's instrumental track, Tune for Mam and Dad, which he wrote to commemorate his parents' passing about five years ago. As the song had no words, I asked him if he would be okay with my transforming it into a piece about my father, and he kindly consented, and subsequently added its beautiful and sensitive introduction, and adjusted aspects of the track to serve the prose and my voice. 
Although I still feel like a magpie stealing a shiny treasure and making use of it for myself, this feeling is mitigated somewhat by something @garddwrporffor once pointed out... that collaborations are magic, as they transform one thing into something entirely different! 
His original track is available to listen to here, with the note he added, "Fathers day today, remembering my lovely father and mother.": https://soundcloud.com/garddwrporffor/tune-for-mam-and-dad-remaster

Eulogy for a Father
by Nadia Selvaggi

Golden-haired cherub on a glass plate 
his boyhood's thorns to shape my fate
The branch extended over oceans
he refused to take
A life lived for himself alone
he did make

The warmth of his tone
spun from a frigid heart
Replete with resentment
kept us apart
The whisper of a bond
strengthened only by death
And the blood of his seed flows on

Ancient memories flicker and storm
becoming parables for the world
Providing comfort
softening sorrow's shadows
Set adrift upon waves of time's passing

Eulogy for a Father by Garddwr Porffor & Nadia Selvaggi
