Time goes by but memories never fade. I released this mix on this day 4 years ago, a week after my friend passed away. It would become the 9th and final episode of my Drifter ambient series. It is a deeply personal mix in which I tried to express a never-before-felt outpouring of grief. Somehow the tracks I’ve chosen had titles that told a similar story, and those words by Megan Bokowski were quite consoling at the time:
The time soon comes for parting,
And our time is at an end,
The rest of your life is starting,
And we have no time at all to spend.You knew one day you’d have to go,
But thought you’d have more time.
We can’t reverse time’s one-way flow,
But at least you’ll have this rhyme.You had your shining moments,
Upon this life’s darkened stage,
And in my book of wonderments,
You’ll never be just another page.Like the exploding of a star,
You’ve changed me in and out,
Your light will travel with me far,
Past when all other lights go out.Drifter’s Melody by Megan R. Bokowski
Making this mix was a labor of love. If you feel like supporting Calm Pills online radio & podcast or showing your appreciation, buy me a cup of a coffee ☕. You can also share this with your friends, rate it or leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you subscribed to this. Thank you.
Also, did you know that I have another podcast called Chill Pills. It features the same quality of mixing craftmanship but focuses on more genres of downtempo music spanning chillout, lofi chill hop and lounge.
