'You're In Everything I Do' - out now
'You're In Everything I Do' is the latest single from Life Through Loss, and it's out now.
Art by Anna Salzmann
When we lose someone, part of them stays with us.
At first, what stays with us is mainly pain; the pain of their loss.
But over time, we slowly become aware of the good things that stay — we recognise their behaviour in our own, we notice how we do things that they used to do, we begin to sense how they have shaped us to become the person we are now. This process is also often painful, but it's a different kind of pain, and we can learn a great deal from it.
This piece explores that paradoxical experience.
It's one of the darker pieces of this album, but it has a certain beauty. I'm always looking for the beauty in painful moments — I refuse to accept that pain is purposeless.
