My grandmother died 3 weeks ago. She was dying in her sleep and we found her slowly losing more and more breath, her pulse getting weaker. We could hear her lungs filling w fluid just from the sound of her breath and all of a sudden she cut out. Her pulse stopped, and the ambulance arrived late, and i felt warmth leaving her fingertips. I was alone with her before the ambulance took her and she gave me one last final breath. This song is that to me. All the emotions I felt then came up when i heard this song just now. She had stage 3 cancer, early onset alzheimers, and had 2 strokes prior, w some heart issues and kidney issues. I was her main caretaker, I stood by her thru all that pain and changed her bandages, did PT with her, cooked for her, cleaned her poop pee everything. I love you mamu. Thank you for this song, Bernth

If this piece were to be described in words it would be like this: a beautiful enchanting recollection and reminiscing of the past moments together with someone you cherish deeply, intermingled with a melancholic, pleading for the future without that person not to come, transitioning into a feeling of accepting the inevitable fate of the relationship and the knowing that, though it's one of the most painful farewells of all time, boldly accepting it was all worth it and despite the pain, the lasting memories and act of moving on and forward resulted in something far more beautiful than could have ever come out of the relationship itself, and ultimately embodies the experience of life and transcendence as humans in an everchanging world and existence

[@weegeerules1]

Discovered you about an hour ago through this track and your music transcends anything else I’ve heard. It’s as if the guitar itself is feeling the emotion in the music. This is art beyond just the medium of music. This is art at a pure conceptual level, bursting with creativity and rooted in life itself. This song invokes feelings of sadness of losing someone who had done everything and yet still had everything left to do. This is sorta the situation this guitar was in. As the instrument of this song there’s a bittersweet peace, as if it was living the rest of its life to the fullest, knowing that any moment would be its last and yet not fully accepting of its imminent demise. It plays until it suddenly sputters out, the last faint note fading away faster than one could anticipate. Death is like that, and it reminds me of my grandfather, a man who did everything and had everything left to do. I lost him a few years ago. He worked so hard so he could give his family and himself the best life they could live. He experienced nearly everything the world around him had to offer and tried to learn how to do anything he wanted to. He was a pilot, a builder, a golf player, and in his later years, a guitarist who played a guitar very similar to this one. He had so much he wanted to see and do, and then one day his body gave up and he was gone. I’m sure he would have loved this song. I’ve never seen as many people at a funeral as I did at his. This feeling is a result of what you do with music. You don’t just play, you and your instrument tell a story and experience the emotion firsthand. That’s why the music is so impactful. Can’t wait to see where this story takes you next. NEVER. STOP. SHREDDING.

This would play when the one character that's been your guide in the game sacrifices themselves for the player and their final words as the game is ending.

While creating these water guitar videos Bernth came to the realization that he was becoming more powerful while playing in the water. He then descended to the sea where he remains now. More guitarily powerful than ever!

Well done brother, this is such an amazing song! I absolutely love your work.

[@MrDanbarbs]

This is truly spectacular. A reminder that music is gone the moment it is heard. All pleasure from music is by definition a memory, a nostalgia

[@DawnbreakerOverture]

Recommended brought me here. The way you hit all the notes underwater just sounded eerily majestic in it's own special way. Thank you for this. It legit brought tears to my eyes.

[@janelleweed2853]

This is so hauntingly beautiful! It’s almost as though you can visually see someone sinking, reaching up towards the sunlight and releasing their last breath. It’s utterly incredible and such a beautiful piece! I went over to Spotify and saved it right away. Thank you for this truly amazing bit of art.

[@deannahill5305]

The idea for this song is dark but, very beautifully unique. Well done on this!

[@janay.janay1]

The notes are dark with the minors in there - mysterious and grabs you

"these are the last notes of a dying instrument" i haven't been this choked up over music in a while. as someone else said, this is hauntingly beautiful

[@Met4Master]

that comment is above you rn

[@ayonixanimations]

this almost made me cry. I was filled with such a profuse sadness listening to the song and how it's quality slowly changed. It just made me think about the memories that are stored within it. Reminds me of Composerily's final song before he left KZbin, not in any kind of musical way they are vastly different, but in the emotions it gave me. This was truly a song for the end of a journey.

[@Jewelybee7]

You killed her, yet she died so lovingly in your arms - it was not a betrayal but exactly as you titled it, a farewell. Hearing the resonance change and deminishing through the piece was so moving, yet oddly comforting. As though this piece felt more like assisted dying rather than a murder. The slight splashing could almost be the tears falling of those left behind and those leaving. This hit so many chords (pardon the pun) and did it so well.

[@ishaq9939]

I play piano, but I’ve always thought guitar was such a beautiful instrument. This piece was gorgeous. I could hear the guitar saying goodbye, but it was happy, like it was the right time. Might sound stupid, but I’m a music lover at heart.

Damn, this is so beautiful as you both make this sacrifice for the sound. It almost made me cry... almost

[@lightbulb08]

Since it's my first time discovering you, it wasn't a big thing that I was expecting. However, I found out this is the very music that I was craving for for a while. This is a masterpiece that'll never get old for ages. Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for the composition and the experimental farewell with your guitar as well!

[@TheDustyForest]

Totally agree, same feeling!

[@Mendoxs_]

Ulvesang - The Hunt also has a similar vibe, it's really good

[@ralphruivivar9625]

0:23 - 0:39 this part hits different ☝🏻 it’s like the guitar is telling it’s whole life with the artist before it’s demise and that it would always be there for him. A little dramatic but that’s how I perceive it. ❤️ keep it up Mr. Bernth more songs like this on my playlist

[@ramonalvarez4869]

Insane the amount of emotion you can convey with a single instrument. Absolutely beautiful song you've created here!

It's kinda fitting for this song to feel as if you are drowning, don't being able to keep ahead every second it passes. Amazing song, with a practical and yet very poetic meaning.

[@Akuji-bj8ee]

It's so sad, I've never cried over a guitar. Beautiful piece.

[@skeetboopbo]

This video is going to be stuck in my head for months now and I'm not gonna be able to forget about it. The almost desperateness in the way the chords are played, represented by a beautiful melody, knowing that you only have so much time until its all over, and the guitar is useless. It's a the pleas of something that knows its going to die, and while its accepted its fate it knows that there's nothing that can be done about it. This is what music is supposed to do, its supposed to make you feel emotions, all art is supposed to make you feel something. And this song definitely made me feel something. I'm so glad I clicked on this video

[@popsocket6885]

"These are the last notes of a dying instrument." And yet it truly sounds so ethereal. Really gave out its all to show what a guitar is capable of playing.

[@delilacain7882]

That was hauntingly gorgeous! My hearing isn't trained enough yet to really pick up on the water effecting the sound but it's amazing none the less!

[@spoonfed_ferret]

shit man, this sent me into a dissociative state i dont even know how to describe it but there's just so much emotion being conveyed through the chords and it speaks volumes

Something about this song made me weep as if picking out every feeling from inside the mental boxes of every compartmentalized memory that could sadden me. This song is absolutely beautiful.

[@RainBertram]

Yeah this is somehow exactly how it felt in my heart when I realized the last time I heard my grandma say she loved me was over the phone in the background. Beautiful and heartfelt... fading.

[@kentuckyblugrass]

Quite possibly the most beautifully written piece I've ever listened to. Absolutely incredible

[@pauleddy5146]

Being an old timer, who was taught to conserve everything, use and reuse everything, I had to cringe at the abuse to a working instrument. But, it did create the effect you were after, and a good luthier could repair it. (maybe) Delamination is a tough one, as is swollen and failed joints. It could, of course, be used as wall art after it's untimely demise. The music was, however, beautiful, as usual for your acoustic pieces.

[@goodmorning2386]

Me too! Not an old timer, but I grew up with financial problems The idea of making it into wall art is brilliant, maybe it should have some form of underwater theme, like he could paint or something

[@Jk-ps2bn]

That was beautiful! You play with such emotion!

[@dokho7iday]

What a beautiful and haunting effect on an already beautiful song. You can literally hear the notes being progressively submerged as the guitar fills with water. The high notes, especially the harmonics, and the bass chords sound to me to be affected the most profoundly. The prettiest and most unique moments in the song are when a bass chord is followed closely by a harmonic run. What a triumph. My only hesitation is that assuming this is a hardwood instrument it will never be the same after this.

[@whenthemoon]

Yep, this is the last song he’ll play on it. Quite fitting that the song is called ‘Farewell’

[@Cyberhawkzz]

Underwater is different that “in water”. You played very nicely “in water”. I hope one day to hear someone play underwater. Or at least try.

[@Atlasintokyo]

Yeah:(

[@justsaying6632]

Yeah, the thumbnail is atleast the hole is submerged, which I think would affect the sound it produce.

[@Ambrrrrritscoldinhere]

I also thought it was gonna be underwater 😭but the song was beautiful nonetheless. maybe next time we'll get a guitar submerged in water video 😄

[@muzikkification]

Would also need an underwater microphone to hear anything and with the water resistance you wouldn't be able to play very fast
