When I Fall (version for Dad)

I put together this version of the Barenaked Ladies' "When I Fall" for performance at my Dad's funeral in March of '07. I ended up chickening out at the last minute, which is something that I'll likely regret for the rest of my life.

I am fully aware of the fact that I can neither sing nor play, so if you're thinking of leaving a "you suck" comment, please don't waste your time; I already know.

Not many people have the courage to do the right thing at the right time. Even less have the strength to admit it. I don't know you, or your father, but I think he would be proud.

[fordjae]

Thank you, very much.

[janellemarlee]

listening to this makes me feel like i have every reason to be happy with life. it makes me smile and it makes me content. thank you.

i'm very sorry to hear about your dad. i had no idea.

[fordjae]

Thanks for saying so. And, you`re welcome. And yes, he is dead, and it sucks ass. I'm cool with it now, though.

Don't sell yourself short, great job!  Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. Your dad knows!
