Those Lost

Well, here we are - Week 52.

Somehow, I managed to put together a track a week for the entire year.

I had intended to make a peppy, celebratory track this week, but life had other plans.

November and December have been historically bad months in my family for people passing away, and this year was no exception. The latest I learned about just before getting started on this week's track, and what came out was notably somber sounding.

Family, musicians, other celebrities and whatnot -- seems deaths hit an uptick at the end of the year...

Here is my final 2022 WeeklyBeats track, "Those Lost"

Big thanks to this site, and for those who commented on my tracks throughout the year, for keeping me 'in the game' all year.

I'm hoping to take 2023 and put out an album or two of music that I spend more time on smile

so sorry for your losses.  here's a hug for you.

this is a fitting tribute.  it evokes the Viking funeral ship going out to sea.

congrats on a year of music - cheers and best wishes for 2023

I have no idea how the WB player skipped me from week 4 in ‘26 to week 52 in ‘22, but I’m glad it did. This track is amazing - melancholy and beautiful.

Wow, that is strange, but glad you enjoyed it. Trip down memory lane for me, for sure.
