    Inspired by the Dylan Thomas poem, "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night".
    The setting sun, hanging low on the horizon
    My heart is numb, as I watch you slip away
    You close your eyes, as if the light is growing brighter
    And a peaceful gaze consumes your tired face
    Do not go gentle, no my love
    The angels don't need you above
    Rage against the dying of the light
    So many lands, still remain to be discovered
    So many plans, still are hanging in the air
    And there is still, so much I need to learn about you
    And the daffodils on silent hills, will never tell me what I want to know
    [Chorus]
    I never learned, how to be myself without you
    When I turn, to face the mirror, I see you
    You’re not just half, ‘cause you can’t separate the whole
    No long division’s sharp incision, could ever extricate you from my soul
    [Chorus]
    For everything, there is a time, and there’s a season
    But deep within, there never seems to be a reason
    When the time comes, I’ll stand beside you in silence
    But until that day, don’t go away, it’s not your turn to leave me here alone
    [Chorus x 2]

    This song literally saved my life. A few days ago I was on the verge of committing suicide. Because of financial difficulties. As I was planning it out, I heard the voices. These little fictional creatures I made up. They were singing
    Do not go gentle, no my love
    The angels don't need you above.
    Rage against the dying of the light.
    I know I am going to die some day. But it will not be by my own hand.

    Gosh, Josh, that is lovely. My mom was killed in a car accident in 2000. I remember telling my father, at the time, that he couldn't die for at least 15 years. Well, here it is 15 years later and your song just reminded me that I'm still not ready for him to leave. What a lovely, sweet and sad song.

    In most cases, stories that are written ( or videos shot) require or inspire a music composition. Josh, this music of yours inspires a story to be written or a video made. The song, in itself, is a story. This and “She Dreams In Blue” are two of your best. Thanks for writing them.

    I stumbled across you I think on Tumblr and since then I've used your music in almost all of my videos.
    I plan to get myself a bigger memory iPod so I can have room for all of the amazing songs you've created.
    Hopefully, one day, I'll be in a position to pay you for the music I use in my videos. Until then I can only say thank you for providing your music for attribution.

    I can't even count how many times I cried in the last 3 days. And this broke the fkoodgates. I barely can see the keyboard. First my Dad had a Mini stroke on the road with me in it and he would have driven home if I wasn't there ! And now my lovely old neighbour with his dog Attila died. I wondered but being depressed I often only go out in the dark. I KNEW HE STRUGGLED TO WALK , SO IF I COUGHT HIM, I would run his shepard mix up and down the Patch of Grass ....but he wouldn't leave his human out of sight.... I should have done more. I knew he was getting worse. I was scared about Winter.....And i don't even know his name out of fear he would think I was only giving him dog treats EVERY TIME I SAW HIM to maybe rob him one day or something... .I should have cared more. Now I don't have a picture and cant even send condolences.

I guess the parody of Vegan Zombies won't ever come up - though it would be a laughable one. every dancer could easily do one in a 4 minute routine... no matter how hard I worked or how much I tried to join an adult class for people with severe illnesses. Dang.
