"The Envoy":


WZ absolutely did not give a frick whether it made marketing sense.
Art for art's sake.
It's actually a great song,set in a really low register though.

"The Envoy" is one of my favorites. A little known favorite of mine is "Veracruz".

But to be on topic, "The Wind" was a beautiful good-bye from him. The odd numbered songs were pretty and the even numbered songs were somewhat gritty. It was a great way for him to go out with all of the artists who contributed. I think he died about a month after the release.

A body ain't human if "Keep Me In Your Heart For A While" doesn't move them.

Post and post history is odd. Why share some of these things?

I have been there too many times and it is nothing but sad. Not only death but friends moving away. I watched my wife's youngest brother get up and stand at my door and just look at us and stare. His eyes said it all. I knew that it was goodbye. But not just goodbye but a final look. As he walked to his car I looked at my wife and she looked at me, and I said said I don't like what just happened and she said that she had chills. He was gunned downed a few days later. Some things are unexplainable. But we both knew.

Just saying. Better to keep things like that off of here

You are absolutely right. Sometimes my grief takes hold and I just don't care. Thanks for the yank back to reality.

The moment that springs first to my mind was the last day i saw my grandfather alive. He was 96 and after the passing of his wife had become gradually more frail. I had flown into NOLA to visit with him and my parents with whom he was staying.

I spent the last morning with him on the porch quietly talking and asking him about his memories of the first time he took my father to a baseball game to see the Koufax Dodgers play or for memories of his childhood in Norway before he came to the US after both of his parents died (before he was 9 years old).

We quietly talked and I filled in the blanks as best I could when I asked for a recollection that he could no longer fully recount. It was as poignant a few hours as I have yet experienced. I waited until I could wait no longer and still make my plane and then kneeled beside his chair to hug him one last time and kiss him on his forehead. I'm sure I left some moisture on his forehead from my leaking eyes.

It was a day as painful and yet as meaningful as I could stand and even now thinking too long on the hours we spent together makes me first quiet and then teery

Just had this happen last week. My distance running coach "quit" (pretty sure he was asked to leave) and moved to San Diego. He had a dinner with the team last week before leaving. It was hard knowing it was gonna be the last time I see him. Dudes a great guy and a heck of a coach.

Well the only time that situation has happened to me was the death of my grandfather. And I was very upset knowing he'd only be alive another day or two. His memory would come and go the last year or two. In the hospital he didn't know who his daughter, my aunt, was. But when he saw me he knew right off and starting chatting up a storm. Made me very happy.

Anyone I know I'm seeing for the last time is someone I don't care to keep up with. I can't think of anyone I care about that I'll never see again, aside from the deceased of course.

Someone close, or just a passer by?

Not really answering your question here, but I remember watching life leave both my grandpa, and my mother. In fact, this thread made me think about that specific day, and moment, that I watched mom die, with much of her family around her bedside. It was sad, and peaceful, and I knew she no longer hurt, and I was glad about that. I wish I could remember our last really good conversation, when she was completely lucent. That's that crappiest part of cancer, or any slow death. The killing you before you die part.

Looking back, I'd give a whole lot to be able to answer your question in the case where the person leaving is a loved one.

In the case of leaving a team or job, I don't think much of it. Anyone who Is important to me is a phone call away.

In cases of death, it's heartbreaking to know that this may be the last time you see a sick loved one. In those cases, I try to make the best of the time I spend with them.
