Reading this thread takes my guts out, however much death stalks us all there's never any dealing with it. Strange though, only yesterday we received the new ISSA / Jane Siberry CD on which, at last, she includes In My Dream which I first heard her perform at Newcastle on her British tour 4 years ago.

I have no conscious memory of my father, who died, aged 30, on Christmas Day 1963 when I was two years old. Listening to Jane (as she was back then) singing In my Dream revealed a memory or a realisation that one upon a time, I too must have ran along with my father through the autumn leaves. Maybe in the autumn of 1961 - or 1962 - when he could still walk at least.

The song takes my guts out too but for those we have lost to come smiling back in our faces telling us to cherish what we have. Here she is singing it solo:
