Last week, I shared a song called "The Unknown", which I wrote in 2013 after my father's passing. I must admit that writing songs after his death was my way of healing, and I wrote quite many songs that year. As we're still in a sentimental corner (well, I'll be here quite often ;)), here is another memorable performance to share with you. I performed this song a month after his passing and wrote it just a week before. I was so nervous, afraid that I would break down crying and not be able to sing. But luckily, I got through the song somehow and managed to put my love into the performance without crying.
Whenever wherever is a song about a father's love, something that I only understood genuinely after his death. While I was growing up, he was very strict with me and pushed me to practice the violin every day. But when I look back to my childhood as an adult, I realise it was love, and he knew me more than I thought. He saw my potential and my capability. And he did all he could to support me in developing my talents, even though we're living in a post-war country.
So here it is, a song that puts me back in a state of unconditional love. I might change the lyrics a bit (as the lyrics are still the "first version" of the song) and consider creating another version of this song with more joyful beats in the future. Let's see whether it will be a reality somehow :-)
Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy the performance and remember to smile and love wherever you are.
With love,
Elanor
