Four years ago today was the day my dad died. During the time he was ill and in the couple of weeks following his death, I made myself a mixtape of the songs that I couldn't get out of my head, entitled 'When I Hold You Like Tomorrow You Might Die, It's Because You Might'.
The tracklisting is as follows:
American Music Club - Can You Help Me?
Annie Lennox - Cold
Tanya Donelly - Manna
Kathryn Williams - Beatles
Gemma Hayes - Gotta Low
Picture Center - Funcity
Hem - Sailor
Drugstore - I Don't Wanna Be Here Without You
Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms
Lisa Germano - Too Much Space
A Girl Called Eddy - The Soundtrack Of Your Life
Picture Center - Forever
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps
The Wannadies - Skin
My Morning Jacket - Golden
Stars - Elevator Love Letter
Fiona Apple - Sullen Girl
Belly - Someone To Die For
Mama Cass - He's A Runner

What a wonderful mixtape. I know some of it ("Can You Help Me?" is one of my favourites) but not all. I'm downloading it now. I'll be thinking of you and your dad while I listen.
That picture you've posted is beautiful. It seems to sum up the huge amount of love you two shared.
It is a wonderful picture. At the risk of repeating everything Laura just said, what a great mixtape too (even the dadrock!).
Hope you're OK xx
Thirding that emotion. Take care x
Thanks guys. I appreciate it!
Need I emphasise that the dadrock was his and not mine? ;o)
