Man Of The Hour or Setting Sun in Vancouver

edited April 27 in The Porch
2 weeks before Christmas I lost my Dad/best friend. I had planned on taking him to one of the shows in Vancouver, however rather suddenly my world was turned upside down.

He had been to the previous 2 Vancouver shows with me, and when the rumours of the tour came up I was pumped to be able to get him to one more show.

Fast forward 4 months and I am a wreck. The new album (which is phenomenal by the way) is bringing out a lot of emotions, especially Setting Sun, I even shed a tear when it ended.

In his honour I am hoping to hear Man Of The Hour or Setting Sun at either of the Vancouver shows.

Sorry for rambling, grief is very unpredictable.

Thanks for listening 

Geoff ✌️

    “Am I the only one hanging on?
    We could become one last setting sun
    Or be the sun at the break of dawn
    Let us not fade”

    Sorry for your loss

    So sorry for your loss. I hope you get to hear one of your songs. Ed dedicated SAD to me in 2022 in memory of my Dad and Father-in-law. Surreal moment.

    Sorry for your loss and hoping your hear one of these!!! Lost my father several years ago and while I wish I could say it gets easier, everyone experiences grief differently (though time does help). The metaphor of riding the wave seems apt. 

    You will always have the memories/shared experiences, and he will live on in the virtues he helped foster within you.

    Thank you! When the song started I was shocked they were doing another one. As it intensified I had a tear stream down my face. Powerful song!
