Sunday Afternoon (Displacement) - With Incidental Fusion (Electronic Ambient)
Artist Comments Vocal interpretation of the original composition 'Sunday Afternoon' by the Wonderful Incidental Fusion. Nicci provided the solid and beautiful musical foundation. The words are mine.
This is a very personal song, and described emotively, and from the shifting perspectives of persons involved; a recent situation regarding the death of my father-in-law and my wife's reaction, and state of mind at the time. The instability that developed, and the loss of a centralised figure that was instrumental to her life really did create a sense of 'crashing into the sun', I felt so helpless, and totally incapable of avoiding this course that was laid out for us.
The last few days of my father-in-law's life were a grueling and emotionally draining experience for everyone concerned, as this once proud, jocular man was reduced to a pallid skeleton, eaten away by cancer, robbed of dignity and vitality. All we could do was watch, powerless to prevent the deterioration; attempting to put on a show of strength to the world that was like a surface ripple. "you held me steady in fear and dread of what I'd become".
This song is my own, personal method of coping with the situation.
