February 19th – A mournful country tune – Remember

It’s February 19th, 2024; Here’s an original traditional country song that Richard Murrey wrote when he lived in Bishop, California. He was observing men who were in mourning over their significant others who had passed, and some who were simply lonely–and put pen to paper to craft this country tune.

Too sad?

Here’s the fiftieth new music post for 2024, as I practice consistency in the sharing of our original songs–one each day. Are the lyrics too sad? I would call it a ‘cry-in-your-beer’ song but I think it’s even too sad for that. It hearkens back to ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today’ except he didn’t die, only his other half crossed over (to the Grand Beyond).

I think I’ll let you listen and tell me how you take this. I’ve given you fair warning as to what it’s about:

Healing lyrics

This song gets me in my gut when I think of my Mom and Dad. I remember how Dad cared for Mom for the last several years of her life (Mom died of Alzheimer’s disease). Dad passed almost two years after Mom. Richard always says Dad died of a broken heart. All I know is Dad was sooo lonely. Intellectually, I know Dad missed his routine of caring for Mom and the yin-yang passion/arguments they’d shared for sixty years. But my heart aches that they didn’t have more good times. And as much as I attempted to help Dad, by suggesting he find a new purpose, socialize with his friends, or such, he would always tell me, “I miss her so” with his voice cracking. UGH

But I love to remember them like this, holding hands and smiling. This is a picture I took when I visited them and took my doggies–Mom loved Beau (and Lou-Lou)!

I do attempt to keep my mind on the positive side of life, so I’d prefer to look at the photos I have during healthy times, like this one. And the times when we could all get together. Ah, this song is helping me heal–layer by layer on many levels.

I look forward to having more family time with my daughter and her family when we move up north this summer. It’s going to be a slow crawl for me, mentally, to let go of all Florida has meant to me though. But I believe I can do it. Music is healing! Songs like, Remember, help me heal from the past.

I know memories shift over the years, and I always find there’s a flip side (yin-yang) to Everything.
