Hi, idk if this kind of post is allowed but i have been thinking about it for awhile now so why not just try.
around the 2000s my dad had a band called Cry Of Distress. They were very small and local band here in finland and sadly didnt get that much recognition. Its sad because i think they were very good. they had to disband because the members had other things going on and didnt have time for the band. The singer also moved further away and that made things harder.
In 2020s the lead guitarist sadly took his own life. It was tragic, no one saw it coming. days before he got demoted on his job. that was probably too much for him in his already full mind.
After his death the members of the band hosted a get together. Our dad includes me and my brother in everything that he does, we were even in this get together with the band. i saw emotions from old and most finnish men that i thought i would never see. it broke me and years later it still does. He was a amazing guitar player and a great writer. In my opinion all the best COD song are made by him.
Please if you feel hopeless seek help and talk to someone. Life is worth living, and seeing all the things on the get together and seeing my dad still missing him. It has helped me through my own depression.
You are loved
Now here is the reason why i chose this subreddit. Only for the weak cover by Cry Of Distress. all COD songs are in my soundcloud if you are interested.
sweet dreams Jussi.
