Owen Smith (singer/guitar player/songwriter): I, like many others through this crazy time, lost my grandma during covid. Due to the lockdowns and limiting who could be in hospitals and what not no one was there when my grandma died. She died alone, and it got me thinking. It reminded me even when you’re surrounded by loved ones when you take your last breath the only person who really knows what you’re thinking is you. That used to really mess me up thinking you can’t share any fear or turmoil going on in your head and then your last moments are moments of panic and worry. Something about my grandma changed that though. Maybe that’s the best way for it to be. Maybe it’s beautiful and words just can’t really describe what the feeling is. At the end of the day though, I think it’s beautiful that one of the most personal experiences, death, doesn’t have to be shared with anyone. That’s one experience that will always be uniquely our own.
