It's Not a Birthday Song
Skirmish: A birthday song (@metalfoot)Liner Notes
I composed my music thinking about people who are no longer with us and we no longer can sing them a birthday song. Thank you for listening and commenting. Please let me know if you are interested in collaborating on a new version for this music.

Some people may no longer still be with us, but we can still celebrate them and remember them fondly on their special days. Very nice music for this skirmish

My big mistake was not to read the explanation for this skirmish. If I knew it was connected to Alex's birthday, i wouldn't have composed this music with such a heavy sentiment. Regarding my initial take on the birthday of people who are no longer with us, a lot depends on how they went. It's a complex subject and it's not always possible to celebrate their birthday. But that's not really about today's skirmish.

This is certainly a serious take on the idea of birthdays. Your title makes good sense. Special days can sting when the one with whom you used to celebrate is no longer with you.
