FredEffinChopin Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 The past 3-4 weeks have been unreal for me. I lost one of my oldest and closest friends when he was hit by a car while he was drunkenly stumbling around in Queens, and less than two weeks later I lost my mother, who passed away while she was in California waiting for a lung transplant.  I was just preparing a post for Scott's (my friend) Facebook page, most of which originally was intended to be delivered as a speech at his funeral. I realized the day before his funeral though, that I wasn't able to talk about him much without breaking down, and would not be able to deliver any kind of speech.  The reason I'm here is that a song kept occurring to me as I have been dwelling on his life the past few weeks, and while I'm going to post it on his page, I thought it might be worth sharing here as well, even though I may have already done so in the past. It's a beautiful song. The words of the first sentence of the first verse are reportedly written on Chapin's tombstone, and they're equally appropriate for him as they are for Scott, though for opposite reasons.   Or perhaps they're more similar than I give Scott credit for. Accomplishments and value are difficult things to measure, and even viewing them comparatively does little to help one try to place them somewhere on a scale. Scott had done so little with himself in the last decade that it would be fair to say that he undid progress that he had made on his own up to that point in life. Not only had his alcoholism become a crippling factor in his ability to function in most ways, but it had pushed away many of his closest friends and family members. At his funeral though the outpouring of grief, love, and support demonstrated that, difficult as he became, nobody ever forgot who he was before that, or what made him special to so many of us. Of course some of the enabling ******* (use your imagination) who occupied much of his time in later life were there, but so were people who neither of us had seen since the 90s, and who were still deeply effected by the loss. Troubled as his life became, Scott had earned a great deal of respect, affection, and even love from those whose lives he had been a part of, and he left an impression that will last long, long time after his life.  I'll spare you some of the details that I really want to share right now, and leave them for those who knew and loved him to read at their leisure. I hope someone here appreciates the tune. There is a strong faith-based message contained in it, but more than simple faith, the song is largely concerned with how we use it when we do find it in this life, and the tragedy of inaction and unfulfilled potential, both for the individual and for the world.  Rest in peace, Scott Diaz. You are and will continue to be dearly missed by everyone who knew you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Â I'm pretty caught up in the Undertale soundtrack ever since I beat it. Â I can't even really post the best songs from it because they're practically spoilers in themselves but take my word for it when I say the game's music is top-notch.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Â It's the only version on youtube and has been on there for 5 months with zero views. Her most famous song (though not sure how appropriate word is now) has 2 instances, one since 2012 with 648 views and the other, again with zero. Kinda gutted. I know she's not exactly a household name but that means that so few people are enjoying her music and I can't even work out how to get her second album. Lucky I have her first on CD still.
