When I was 22, my Dad took his own life. It was exactly 12 years ago today. He suffered from manic depression and bipolar and he was an alcoholic. He’d been in a very depressed state for several years, however it still came as an enormous and awful shock.

I’ve been working through all of this stuff with a counsellor, and it’s helping hugely. If you have had a similar experience, I really do think it might help you too. You can speak with your GP about it, and they should be able to recommend a mental health service to you.

I loved him, but often didn’t like him. I found it hard to grieve for him, as I was so angry with how he had died, and what it had done to our family that I couldn’t forgive him.

Writing this song forced me to look at some of those feelings, and connect with the kid who was scared and unsure about his Dad. Having spent every day since his death avoiding sitting in a room and thinking about it, during lockdown I sat in a room and thought about it.

In my teenage years, we had a huge falling out, instigated by his behaviour. We were able to go some way to patching things up in the years prior to his death, but I’ve spent a really long time wrestling with my feelings about him.

I didn’t expect to write a song about him to be honest, but it just sort of fell out of me and I found the experience so unbelievably cathartic I thought it might be worth sharing, so that other people who had been through something similar might take something from it.
