I’ll look them up. I can use all the help I can get, electronically or otherwise. Thanks David.

A beautifully sad song, Dom. It’s touching deep down inside. :cry:

Having this long time of good bye is a familiar feeling for me as well, as my grandma had dementia, too. As mentioned by John, the line “Please forgive while I forget you” ist incredibly brilliant, is say everything about this condition.

Dom,

What Maggie @batwoman says:

“This piece of music rests on my heart.” is, if anything, an understatement… this is arguably the most heart wrenching & heartfelt piece I’ve heard here in the Community.

Recording issues aside, this was beautiful… my wife & I lost her mother to Alzheimer’s a few years back & the pain of watching & caring for this lovely, once vibrant woman fading away… incredibly sad & tragic…
my favorite line - “The lifetimes we’ve been weaving have started to unwind”, I remember thinking this at the time… like a favorite sweater that’s started unravelling…

The Long Goodbye - those words are very descriptive - ought to be whispered in the outro over & over… fading away as the song ends.

Thank you for posting this!

Tod

Thank you so much Tod. You’re on to something there. Funnily enough I’ve knocked out another version and tried something similar. Coming to a set of ear phones near you…

Dom you need to re-record this as it was a really good song.

Following all your kind comments and feedback I decided to try rerecord my original effort. I must admit I did try fiddling about with new sound recording equipment I’ve been playing around with and never got to a happy point so this final result was an impromptu performance using my phone and adding a ‘harmony’ and some echo afterwards. Anyway…

Remains a powerful song delivered with great conviction. I prefer the ‘original’ version. However you choose to perform it, it’s one of the best original songs I’ve heard on the community.

Thanks Brian.

Excellent song…really liked this and you singing was heartfelt and authentic…great job!!!

I agree…the orginal was a bit easier to listen too… great song either way!!

Brilliant stuff again Dom , I am probably leaning more towards the original as well but not a lot in it. You have posted some gems on here and I agree with @beejay56 Brian that this is one of the best original songs posted.
