I am greatly sadden by news of Fireproof Babie’s passing. He was such a vibrant human force at ccmixter. An encouraging friend, generous collaborator, and creative soul.

FB, OldDog and I worked on a collaboration a long time back. It was one of the most rewarding musical experiences I have ever had. FB spun me a yarn and the resulting song was called Forever in My Heart. It’s sweet, sad and a little nostalgic. For some reason the raw vocals were lost in the collaboration feature.

I thought it might be appropriate to re-post it.

FB, you will be greatly missed.

Forever in My Heart
Hello my friend, I hope you’re doing well
It’s been a while since I saw you last
I’m getting by, day by day
but I keep walking the same old paths
with the ghost of you by my side
even then I miss you so

Chorus
You’ve maked your territory, clawed up the ground
Aimed high, and left your mark on me
You’re just a beautiful memory now
but you live in my heart, forever in my heart

Love is such an infinite thing
I close my eyes and look within
and when the cold wind blows deep in my heart
I dream you again
I see your face, your smile, and your beautiful eyes
And I fall in love over again
