When Words Fail, Music Speaks

from Homecoming with Jessica · host Jessica Roemischer

I woke up this morning thinking about my dear dad, who passed just a few months ago. And I was overwhelmed with a deep grief that my dad isn't here with me anymore, in the way he was. And what came to me was the love he had for me and for music, and for the music I created especially for him. So I was inspired to listen to music I'd created to give him for his 85th birthday, just three years ago--a special CD for my daddy. And as I played the music, I thought of that ephemeral place between this life and the next, between this embodied life and the feeling of those loved and now in that blessed world beyond the here and now. Music is "My Wild Irish Rose" by Chauncey Olcott, arranged and performed by Jessica Roemischer
