Still Here

Have you ever thought about a moment in your life when you were happy? Or maybe you are happy now, but you don't recognize it yet. This song is inspired by the movie We Live in Time and explores the twists of the past, present, and future. In the past, we meet a man who is unhappy with his marriage until he meets a woman who sparks hope in him. Though he fears taking the risk, he decides to fall in love, as his greatest dream is to start a family. In the present, he lives happily with his wife and daughter, but the unexpected happens when his wife faces a second battle with cancer. She decides not to fight anymore and chooses to live her last moments creating beautiful memories for her husband and daughter, knowing that even though her body will no longer be here, her love and essence will remain alive in their lives as memories of laughter, colors, and pure happiness.
'Life often doesn’t turn out the way we expect, but that doesn’t take away its beauty or meaning; on the contrary, it makes each good thing that happens to us feel even more fortunate. And I feel fortunate to be here today.' — Farid Dieck

Today, I make this song and I don’t know if it will be the last, but I want you to know that I’ve enjoyed every moment. Even if it's hard to make myself understood, I love you all for being here and for loving my music. I wish this weren’t a goodbye, but a 'see you later,' though that’s not up to me. This is my submission for the January challenge on Flat. Maybe I haven't expressed enough, but I hope it’s warm to your ears. I also hope that every time you listen to this song, you can remember me, and I can remember you, knowing that in my music, you will always find a safe place to feel happy.
