“Lose You Now”, Lindsey Stirling, Lyrical Lines, Mako

In 1982, when I was 16-years-old, I lost my dearest friend in the world, my father. He was torn from me by a particularly vicious type of brain tumor that robbed him of his vitality, dignity, and humor over the span of six months, before finally taking his life. This time of year is especially difficult because he passed away on May 18th. Although I have no pictures of him, over the last four decades I’ve had no difficulty keeping his spark alive in my heart and mind, and there’s not a day that goes by where I don’t think of him and all that he meant to me.

Musician and songwriter, Lindsey Stirling is no stranger to loss herself. In the last five years she’s lost her best friend, fellow musician and producer Jason Gaviati, and her father Stephen Stirling. The song Lose You Now was originally a track on her 2019 album Artemis under the title Guardian. She has now collaborated with singer-songwriter, Alex Seaver (Mako) to update it into something truly special and unique. I know many of you have suffered loss in your own lives and I hope Lose You Now touches your hearts like it did mine.

I wish I could remember every second we had
I know I tried to count ’em all one by one, one by one
But you don’t get ’em back, you don’t get ’em back
Take every memory we’ve ever had
Oh, I want to live ’em all one by one, one by one

And I swear that I’m not gonna lose you now
I’ll keep you in my life somehow
And even when the lights go down, down
I could never lose you now
And even though we’re not so close here
Maybe you could pick me up still
‘Cause I can’t stop falling down
I can’t stop falling down
And I’m not gonna lose you now

Oh I can still remember all the lessons you gave me
I hope that I can live ‘em all one by one
Don’t you go looking back, there’s no looking back
And I don’t mean to open every picture I saved up
I’m only trying to visit with you one by one, one by one

And I swear that I’m not gonna lose you now
I need you in my life somehow
And even when the lights go down, down
I could never lose you now
Even though we’re not so close here
Maybe you could pick me up still
‘Cause I can’t stop falling down
I can’t stop falling down
And I’m not gonna lose you now

I’ll keep you in my life somehow
And even when the lights go down, down
I’m not gonna lose you now
I’m not gonna lose you now

Arthur Conan Doyle, ”The Sign of the Four”, International Sherlock Holmes Day, The Hillywood Show

I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation. That is why I have chosen my own particular profession, or rather created it, for I am the only one in the world. 

 Arthur Conan Doyle, The Sign of the Four
