Story behind the song
I wrote this song on october 22nd, so the day i'm referring to in the song is actually october 22nd, not the 21st, although the 21st was the day of his passing .. i was hugely inspired to write something and this is what came out, it is about trying to write something but never having it good enough.
Lyrics
today - i'm gonna have to find my own way... and i'm afraid that i'll fail you today - as these leaves tumble to ground, time advanced but you weren't around today - as these fingers fumble away, searching the perfect chord but i will fail you today - i can't even find/fight the words to express at what a loss is this world and the only thing that makes perfect sense, is that the hardest word i'll ever have to write is ... goodbye ):
