Dean Lewis Instagram – I was in Nashville and had just had a year off and the time finally came to write a song about my Dad. He was in really bad shape, and I’d been getting updates from my Mum constantly, I was waiting for the message to tell me to come home. At the same time, I was living my dad and my dream. He taught me how to play guitar and gave me my love of music, he couldn’t believe we’d had a hit song the previous year and was able to tour and see the world. It was so amazing, he told me to keep going. I remember hugging him before I went on tour thinking “this is probably the last time I’m ever going to see him”. Writing this song was truly the most special moment of my life, I had goosebumps the entire time. I felt like I’d stumbled over some magic that I’d spent years searching for. It’s such a strange thing when the words and the melody fly down all at once to fit perfectly into shape…Even stranger is when the words mean so much. I remember singing the chorus 3 times and the second take blew my mind. I had full on goosebumps and started jumping around. Writing included me being incredibly excited, emotional, crying, happy. Then out of the blue, my dad got lucky and a stem cell transplant actually worked! It gave him a second change, he got to come on stage and play the song with me and see a song about him change so many peoples lives. This is it; it’s called how do I say goodbye! Luckily I never had to. | Posted on 26/Feb/2024 01:00:15
