'The Red Hand Files'

'The Red Hand Files' is the blog of singer/song-writer Nick Cave. A series of questions are asked by members of the public and he replies in letter form accompanied by an image. It is a Maverick, entertaining and profound collection of musings. His answers are sometimes deep, often funny and always candid. They are brilliant nuggets of prose irrespective of your interest in the music of 'the Bad Seeds'. I happen to love the pulsing beat and 'Hammer House' organ of 'The Red Right Hand' (theme tune of Peeky Blinders). The question he asks which underpins this compulsive call and response of blog writing is "Are you there?" The questions are themselves funny, sad, meaningful and ultimately reflect the questioner, spanning sex, death and music. From #42 "With song writing we enter the imagination, that wildest of erogenous zones, where intense obsessive yearning can be like a roaring in the heart and loins both". He reveals not only his wit, but his Christian framework and dedication to transcendental meditation, which support him in his own profound enquiry around grief. #44 "For most of my life I have felt a strange gravitational pull toward an undisclosed traumatic event, that could only be described as a dreadful yearning, and I found it eventually in my son's death - something that both destroyed me and ultimately defined me." I particularly love #6 "...if we love, we grieve. That's the deal. That's the pact. Grief and love are forever intertwined. Grief is the terrible reminder of the depths of our love, and like love, grief is non-negotiable." I found myself spontaneously tapping out a question and hitting send before I could censor myself. I await his reply.

Whilst not about death directly, it is about finding the people that keep you alive in the face of wanting to die. Two estranged twins by an act of fate both try and commit suicide. They reunite and learn whether they can live again. It's a darkly funny film, helpful with the casting of Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig (both known for their comedic work on SNL and other films and TV)

Sufjan Stevens' music seems to explore the concept of how it feels to lose loved ones. "Carrie and Lowell" for instance focuses on the loss of his mother and "Javelin" (his most recent album) was written on face of the the death of his longtime partner.  Some of his other songs such as "Casimir Pulaski Day" talk about the death of a friend due to cancer and the process of grief and its ties to faith

Many songs from Bleachers (the band featuring notable producer Jack Antonoff as its frontman) explore the concept of coping with death. This comes from the grief Jack Antonoff faced in losing his sister to cancer. "I Wanna Get Better" was the band's first song and is an optimistic cry on being able to get through dark times and making the steps.

It was the journey of love and loss. Grew to love Marley and his character as he really was part of the family. Grief of losing an animal is difficult to navigate and this really reminded me of some pets we have lost and had to say goodbye to.
