If You Could See Me Now, is an emotional tribute to Danny’s late father – and to guitarist Mark Sheehan’s parents, who died within months of each other when he was just 12 years old.下面是我摘下来的Mark的原话,明显这首歌是他和Danny写的。
‘I haven’t played it for anybody and I need a minute with that song,’
‘I can’t even tell you if it is a good song or not.
‘It’s a page from my diary, I produced and wrote it but I have to walk away from it. It is just a weird one.
‘It is a touchy subject for me – I lost both my parents quite young and it was a real dark point in my life. Like Danny said, it is something I have never talked about until now. I don’t know if we will ever find the right moment to play that live at all. I can’t even picture playing it live because it is so personal.’
接下来是Danny的叙述。
Danny is a little better equipped to talk about his own loss. His father, Shay, was struck by an abdominal aneurysm(一种动脉瘤) and died on Valentine’s Day three years ago. He was 63.(*这则报道是去年的)
The singer was heartbroken and felt the day of his death was a poignant reminder of the love in which his father was held. He had a rose tattoo done on his left arm to commemorate his dad and the date of his passing.
‘He was talking to me in the morning and he was dead by night-time,’ he recalls. ‘You don’t even have time to say, “That’s bullsh*t”. I’d been away for 10 years. I didn’t realise that I was getting precious time with my dad.
‘I got to know my father as a man. The song is about what he would say to me now if he was here. It’s my favourite song off the new album, without a doubt.’
