I wrote this in 2008 and had  tracks done at a Nashville studio and sent to me to do the vocals at home. My original version used their mix and my vocal which was done with a slight cold, so I took their wav files and remixed and redone the vocal. The song is about a man with dementia that comes and goes. Listen all the way to the end for a little twist. Thoughts are welcomed.

Happened with my dad toward the end unfortunately. But he had good days too. Touching song.

teego, Very heart felt song with a nice sound to it. Nice instrumentation and nice vocals. Awesome mix on this, as well. Nice lyrics. Good piece of work, enjoyed. Remember, I love you dad!! Nice ending that tells the whole story.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Thanks Robby, sorry about your Dad. I have never been in that position but I have thought so many times how terrible it must be to have someone who has known you all your life to suddenly not know you, especially a loved one. I thought about it enough to write this song.
 
 John, thank you for the nice comments and the listen! Glad you enjoyed it.

It was difficult... I was one of his care givers at the end (last 6 months) and I have a memory of one night he was up and I heard a commotion. I went in his room and he was on the floor trying to put out fires (not there) I told him "Dad, dad, come on we have to get you back in bed." He was going about 220 at the time? And not in very good shape, so I double underhooked him and dead lifted him off the floor and put him in his bed. He looked surprised! As I tucked him in, he looked at me and said "you're pretty strong for a woman?" And I LAUGHED OUT LOUD! And I said, yeah, yeah dad, I guess I would be pretty strong for a woman :-) (he thought I was a nurse I think)
 
But what was really interesting is, he confused me, he confused my sister, but I had a young son (less than a year) and whenever he would see him, he would light up like a bulb and smile and say, "There's my grandson!" Right to the end, he knew that boy, and he always made him smile. 

That made me laugh out loud too! I guess we can have good memories even from the bad times. Thanks for sharing that story Robby! I am glad he. Knew your son to the end.

Nice work pal. I lost my dad in 2002, I have written a few about him too!

Thank you Tony! Sorry about your Dad.
 

Great song Teego - loved all aspects of it

To quote Billy Joel - "I love you just the way you are".
 
'Nuff said.
