The loss of a family pet is always a difficult event. It’s like losing a piece of your heart- of yourself, even. But one thing is true- pets often stick around and their presence can be felt. Always Here is based on many accounts of pets’ spirits possibly haunting their owners after they pass. Doors may open/close around the house, and owners may feel their former pets laying on them even if they’re not physically there. Our pets’ love always remain and that is a very comforting, but bittersweet thing.

 

The piece itself has a subdued, but lyrical melody which represents the poignancy of remembering one’s pet. This has a conversation with playful arpeggios and scales which are memories of that pet playing around...maybe even still in the afterlife.
