Loss. Self-reproach. Despair. All in a guitar-basket in South Indian kriti form that stays cheery in spite of it. I recorded this track alone, with vocal help from my daughter Emeralda.

lyrics

I’ll miss you
until I love myself too
it’s hard to move
and so easy to grieve

Just let her go, and may God bless her
Just let her go, and may God bless her

Guess what she’s into: why should you know?
Fly away before you grow
to love her again

When will I forget how much I need her?
Cry into the night until I’ve lived enough to leave her

I’ll miss you
until I love myself too
it’s hard to move
and so easy to grieve
