Tony Anderson - Ariana

My mom, Ariane, died on September 21 after a 10 year battle with cancer. This song has been part of my process of saying goodbye. I still reach for my phone to call or text her from time to time, forgetting that she's gone. It's been a slow process of letting go, and I gather I'm at the beginning stages of it all.
As I wrote this song, I had a picture of mom and my sister Sharon in view. The two of them were in our garden in Nebraska in the summer of 1993 or 1994 - those colors, temperatures and memories worked their way into every fiber of this music...a time before difficulty, disease and loss. These years were the most simple in my life, and I wanted to imprint them in a lasting way.
The very last thing mom said to me before she died was "look for my smile." I'm still not sure what she meant, but I wanted the photo I kept near me to be the album cover because of the light in her eyes.
These melodies are for you, mom - and for your spirit living on in Sharon. I miss you so much. I wish you could have heard this.
And Sharon, I am immensely grateful that you're my sister. I'm proud of your courage, compassion and resilience. You carry her elegance, grace and power so well...

I just found this song recently. My coworker had this song in a playlist called "gorgeous soundtracks," and when I heard it the first time, I thought this was the most beautiful song I've ever heard. This song embodies the picture in every aspect. It's everything so beautiful, yet somber of grief that this moment is in the past. Thank you for crafting this masterpiece.

[@alaricmoras9096]

Hi Tony, I don't know whether you'll ever see this, but I just want you to know that I figured out what your mother meant when she said, "Look for my smile," because I lost my own 12 years ago and I've had some time: she meant look for her in your mirror or to see how you feel when you look at the sky in spring or at someone you love or when you feel something that moves you profoundly. The day before yesterday, I learnt that my younger brother, to whom I'm very close and who lost his mother when he was 8, was suicidal. The same day, I learnt that I could soon be unemployed. I wasn't able to process any of this and in between trying to save my job, my brother and myself working from home, I learnt I was the only adult in my family I could rely on because she wasn't here anymore. Then yesterday, the algorithm put Ariana by you on. I had another tab open but the moment the first few notes hit me, I knew, instinctively that you had lost someone. When I read your description, I curled up in my bed for an hour and cried because so many memories I thought I had lost resurfaced. My mother, through your own mother's smile in this picture, came out to tell me I wasn't alone. When I was done, I found myself uploading a photo of her, to receive millions of comments telling me, specifically, how much my smile was like her own. That's what she means, Tony. She means for you to be happy. It's what I live everyday. And I feel her then. And now, I'll think of Ariana as well. Thank you. :)

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

Alaric MORAS wow. Thank you.

[@ashleeuhlar2549]

Beautiful words, Alaric MORAS. Same here, as soon as the music played I felt this loss. Losing a mom is like missing a shade of happiness. The color is completely taken from the palette. Nothing can ever replicate it. There's a spiritual depth to motherhood, and you realize that the moment you cannot see or be with her again in this life.

[@eveleene3613]

I hope you're doing well now

[@AkramShibly]

Bawled my eyes out after reading this. I'm so lucky to have my mother still around. I wish I listened to her more growing up, it would have saved me so much pain and heartbreak in life. If your mother is still with you, give her all the love and respect while you still can. Listen to her advice, your mother is the only person in this world who wants nothing other than your success and happiness.

[@jeanettehigginbotham]

Beautiful!

[@christiannalewis6514]

I discovered this song on Spotify shortly after my daughter, Arianna, was born a few months ago. Having not read the description I had no idea it was a song born out of grief. But I play it every night as I put her to bed... it is beautiful. So I want you to know that this beautiful piece of music has been a piece of new life, as well as loss. Thank you.

The story goes same to me. I was aware about Tony Anderson and his music from the introduction of track Emmanuel. Later on after exploring more of his music I was really touched and connected to this track ARIANA. This track was very special to me and I felt very much connected. I was constantly playing this music on my phone, if not in my head(contemplating this track with the scenario around me ) at the time iI was at Portugal, Melides coastal side. It was mid summer and me and my wife planned to go to the beach side of Melides which is really beautiful. She was already pregnant with our daughter almost 4 months. We planned a day to walk by the beach of Melides and just enjoy the solitariness. The waves on the sea getting stronger while occasional gush of wind passed by us. it was neither cold nor hot it was perfect. Mid of April in Portugal. We really enjoyed that moment and took some pictures and videos. Later on, after some days I was informed that my first child is a baby girl. when my wife asked what we should name her the only name that came to me was the name ARIANA. Me and my wife we are Nepalese from Himalayan region while buddhism being our background naming her ARIANA was unnatural(according to our tradition)... Well the story is long, but in short connecting to your comment, when I read the description on this video I realised the grief that was emotionally attached to it. Like you've said a beautiful piece of composition in music I would like to say that this track although its about loss has and will be an inspiration for a new life for me. My Daughter My motivation "ARIANA".

I suffered from depression and whenever I had a mental breakdown I would listen to this song, I think the reason of that is because I always thought of this song like a sad one, a song that tried to describe the loss of a mother, the suffering. But right now I listen to it and I don't feel sadness nor suffering in this beautiful melody. In fact I got it all wrong, it is beautiful and pure, it's a tribute lullaby for this beautiful soul.

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

I am in a low place myself right now and I came back to listen to this song today...march 2, 2021...it is almost as if I had never heard it before and it gave me the same gift it gave you in those low moments.

As I watch these snippets go by, I am realizing how blessed I am by God's goodness to have the responsibility of life in my hands. The joy I feel is something that I didn't think I would experience again. It's the joy you see in your mom and sister and it's the colors captured in those fields.

What she meant when she said “Look for my smile “ can be interpreted only by you ! We can just give our inferences . I personally feel she meant - look for smiles everywhere , so that it puts a smile on your face too and one day may be when you are not expecting it you will feel her In spirit and energy smiling through someone !

I held my Mom's hand as she passed from cancer, just over 10 years ago. I feel where you are at. There's nothing to let go of. She is still with us, in everyday moments. She is always smiling now. You'll only feel her when you are smiling with her. That's what she meant. Look for her where she is, not where she was.Thanks for the music!

I cried to hear this song. I also compose some themes and I know the depth we look for when we write a song. But that didn't give me a "sad" cry that makes me smile. Brings relief. God bless you, your family and your sister's family.
