I am so sorry to hear these terrible news. I wish you patience because time will ease the pain.
The song sounded just right in these hard times, not sad like you said but still a very moving song. Great song.

Dan,
 
Sorry to hear about your loss.   I think your dad would have liked it simply because you did it with him in mind.  That outweighs it all...
 
Really good listen,your soundscapes and sense of space and depth are always stellar, no exception here.   Really good song.  
 
Regards

Thank you Mark!

My sincere condolences go out to you and your family Dan. 
I lost my father a long time ago. Still think of him often.
I love how you started with a heartbeat and the whole piece gets stronger. 
Your remembering must bring you joy and strength.
 
All the best.

Thanks Jimmy!

My condolences on the death of your father Dan. This is a beautiful piece. You chose the synth sounds well, just right for the melodies. Love how this builds so well, and the arrangement evolves with it. Very nice indeed.

Thanks Scott!

Love the chugging strat rhythms, love the crystal clarity of the mix. I also really like the many different rhythms that come and go. It certainly evolves.
 
I think there's a pop/click at :15 when a layer of some kind comes in.
 
OMD is a nice reference, they had some cool stuff for sure.
 
the Bandcamp version just kind of ends abruptly, which might be entirely intentional given your motivation for the piece, I think I get it. Very sorry for your loss.
 
thanks for sharing your excellent music.

Thanks for the listen Tom!
 
The pop is in the attack of the synth. You can hear it elsewhere if you go looking for it. Maybe I should have rolled off the attack some, but it doesn't really bother me. Well it didn't...lol.
 
Yes, the song does end abruptly...on purpose.
 
Regards,
Dan

I'm very sorry for your loss Dan.  What a great tribute to your father.  What more can one give than a creation of the heart. 
 
The song is well done.  Mix seems very good to me.  I love the way the song builds.

Like the others, I'm very sorry for your loss, Dan.
Very nice song. I love the stereo interplay, and the way the song builds in a long crescendo. I can feel the good times you were reflecting on when you wrote this. It's very present in the music. It's a wonderful tribute to your dad. Whether he'd have liked the music or not, he would have loved it, because of the effort and love his son put into it to honor him. Nice job Dan.
