Catharsis for Stephen

I wrote this for my father some time after he died. I never wound up finishing it, but decided it would be worth a shot just putting it out there. As far as I am aware, no one besides me has ever heard it. I had pretty much stopped playing music for months, maybe close to 1.5 years, because of how hard and frustrating it was trying translate anything I was feeling into music. I'm fairly pleased with how this came out. It kind of speaks for itself. I still have a hard time listening to this. I know the second half of it is "hard to listen to" but it was intentional. This track uses a variation on a riff I have used in the past, usually when I need to express some form of loss.
