"Hey guys, it’s Dan. Instead of posting the lyrics to this song, I’m gonna do something a little different. I’ve made it no secret that this is my favorite song off of SKYS, and I’m gonna use this space to explain why.
This song was recorded in December of ’06, just a few weeks after my Mother suddenly passed away from an extremely aggresive cancer. The song is about the situation, so as you can imagine it’s insanely personal and close to my heart. If the lyrics seem confusing in that context, it’s because they’re sung from my Dad’s perspective, on the day of my Mom’s funeral. I lost a Mother, but he lost the love of his life, I couldn’t help but see the pain from his perspective. He stood there next to her casket all day and night, like he just couldn’t face the day without her, he couldn’t physically seperate himself from her. It was the most intense thing I’ve ever been through in my life.
While we were recording this song, there was one point when the producers and myself (and maybe a couple band members, but they’re manly men so we’ll leave them out of it) found ourselves in tears. It was when I was laying down the vocal at the very end of the song. I see these words as a chorus of their own, the biggest tribute I could ever present to my Mother. All six of her kids and her husband all shouting out to her memory:
"I’ve no regrets of yesterday, though these tears are falling
I will look to you, I will still remember
This will linger on, your memory deeper than the ocean..."
