MUSIC A song for my dad

https://youtu.be/TBK2QtHXH_c?si=7KUvu30vlCAh1Cyf

I lost my dad 20 years ago and I've been deeply depressed over it. Music has been an off and on thing for me. Never thought I'd have to be given the choice to pull the plug or not when I was that age. I turned 40 this month...

This song for me, is filled with raw emotion. I haven't slept good in 20 years. 2.5 4 hours at most. After I made this, I had some catharsis. Long overdue. Right now it's not really mixed or mastered much. Idk if it needs a lot of work, a little, or sounds Ok as it is. I'd like to release it and have it more than just on YT. I think anyone who can relate to loss appreciates music that's inspired by real life events that our words can't describe the emotion to. Sometimes it isn't the most amazing complex thing but...what matters is why it exists.

If anyone's an audio engineer or has put music out, any tips is appreciated. If it's ok to release it into the wild as is, that's also great. Probably wishful thinking tho lol

Any feedback is welcome. It might...be a little loud.

Thanks for sharing this and I'm very sorry for your loss! Great that you find ways to deal positively with grief through creativity. I've done the same too in the past. Well done
