I've heard this song on the radio last week, recognising its familiar 80's sounds. Usually one of those songs considered to be left for granted by others, but yet for the first time then, i actually listened to the lyrics and it was so moving. My father also just passed away about 9 months ago so you can imagine how touched i was feeling listening to the song's obviously deep messages.
My message to fein_mess: If you're reading this, i just want to say that i fully understand your situation. About not being able to be close to your father before he died. I managed my best to to be close to mine, but was closer to mum. Knowing that he wanted it to be the other way around breaks my heart. So i just want you to know, you're not the only one. It's normal for everyone yet i'm pretty sure your dad knows how much you love him.
For all those who also lost their fathers, i also apply this message for them as well. And as for those who hasn't; please love them, cherish them and give them the happiness they deserve. Show it to them too. Before they leave for work or anywhere, tell them 'i love you and take care'. Every single time i'd say that to dad, but on that very day i wasnt able to, since he had to leave for work so early at 5am. The line from the song really hit me hard about that:
"I wasn't there that morning
When my Father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say"
And finally, for those whose families still feuding; please make peace and amends or you might regret it. My uncles, after over 10 years of quarrel, pride and misunderstandings, have only just patched up because of my dads passing. He was their youngest brother.
It's not just about justice; its about opening your heart towards the people you love. That, i think is probably central to this song's meaning.
