A Song For Azetta (and those who miss her)

Read more about this song/video below.

As I release this song and music video know personally that Azetta would probably never have listened to this type of music. I actually have no recollections of ever hearing her listen to music, possibly it was simply too far past the time that she did so. But this is more about myself and the song represents my feelings and how I've felt from her passing. A way of keeping her memory alive and paying tribute to her. I only hope as she looks down from heaven that she can be proud of me even if the song may not necessarily be her cup of tea.

As many may realize the video uses scenes from the silent film, "The Little Matchseller," which was filmed in 1902 by James Williamson based on the book by Hans Christian Andersen.

"Grandmother," cried the little one, "O take me with you; I know you will go away when the match burns out; you will vanish like the warm stove, the roast goose, and the large, glorious Christmas-tree." And she made haste to light the whole bundle of matches, for she wished to keep her grandmother there. And the matches glowed with a light that was brighter than the noon-day, and her grandmother had never appeared so large or so beautiful. She took the little girl in her arms, and they both flew upwards in brightness and joy far above the earth, where there was neither cold nor hunger nor pain, for they were with God.

That excerpt more than anything makes me remember Azetta, and I always will.
