Chris came up with the guitar progression and the title "Ashes Around My Neck", and I was captured by the sound and wanted to write the words for it. I asked him what the title meant, and he told me that was a family custom to wear one's father's ash around the neck, as a way of remembrance.
Lyrics
Ashes around my neck
I wear your ashes around my neck, to keep you up close in my mind
Hoping to chat with you in my dreams, and to make-up for the lost times!
They say filial piety should be shown during your life time when you were still going strong
But even when you were feeling weak, I haven’t the courage to admit, that
You were right, Dad, and I was wrong.
As time goes by and I realised, reconciliation is possible only when you were alive.
For what’s the point of wearing your ashes, when insensitivity was shown in times of clashes.
Now I have children of my own, to talk about life and guide them along.....
Only now I know to be close to you, is to love and guide them like you did with me too!
I love you, Dad, truly, truly love you.
