It was Mike McGrother of the Wildcats of Kilkenny fame, it was a joint project highlighting suicide. Mike played lead and sang, there were two sessions of around 250 voices of normal folk not singers filling the church that day, this recording is the result. Gets me every time, just amazing that we Teessiders can do something like this. Glad you enjoyed.
Lost my Mam and Dad and Husband within a year of each other and have found it very difficult to listen to anything sad. Just thinking of Israel, the big Hawaiian’s version of Wonderful World and How long I will love you by Ellie Goulding brought me to tears just typing this. I suppose the emotional release is a kind of grief therapy.

Jonah Matranga - Anthonys Song
the story part of the video was made by anthony when he was 18, as part of a suicide awareness campaign.
in the footage by the water that you see at the beginning and end, anthony was 24-ish. he was making lots of music, and filmed himself playing this song just after he'd finished it.
not long after that, he accidentally overdosed. by all accounts, he was happy & healthy, in a sweet relationship, finding his way. he just slipped.
anthony's friends/family sent me all this stuff, and asked me to record this song in his memory. it changed me for good. i hope that the music can be a beacon for you, whatever you're going through. you can find it here, or on any of the many streaming services.
This comes from the DEPARTURE which is the companion EP to "Tenderwild" from Onelinedrawing.
ANTHONY'S SONG
anthony tells his story beautifully, and there's just a bit more i'd like to add for context:the story part of the video was made by anthony when he was 18, as part of a suicide awareness campaign.

This is a throat lumper, especially when the brass comes in halfway through ...
