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...

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.

Hey Tony. This is what I imagined your mother saying with her final words: "When your journey has ended, when you finally enter His gates, when you are surrounded by a great multitude that you blessed with your talents, don't look for that withered old woman, dying in a hospital bed. You won't find her. I've become something new. Look for my smile. You'll know it when you see it." Whether that seems accurate our not, I felt I should share it with you. Thanks for sharing the tunes. God bless :)

I've been listening to your music since 2016 when Ambient featured Immanuel. Always loved the depth and emotion in your music. My father was diagnosed with cancer this past September and my life changed that day in ways that I cant even put into words. I've had some really, really dark moments. Then you posted this song...and all I can really say is, although my heart breaks for your loss, and as your mother's final journey has just ended, and my father's has now just begun, I find solace in knowing there Is Paradise after this life, where my earthly father will eventually go, and where I'm confident your mom is already waiting in the arms of our Heavenly Father.

My daughter's 1st birthday is this weekend. I am attempting to put together a video collage of the last year as a surprise to my wife and family (no skill at all, but giving it a shot). This is the song that I chose to put in the background. I was terrified to be a dad and at times didn't want to be. Before my daughter came I had a lot of dark days full of anxiety. 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. Tony - your music is captivating and moves the Spirit in me. Thank you for helping me realize that it turned out alright. I can't wait to share this with my family.

[@endlessstriver3313]

Tony, I just want to say thank you. This song is very special to me. I first heard this song in January of 2020. I loved the sense of peace it gave me, I knew that it was something special from the moment I heard it and upon learning the inspiration behind it, it just made sense as to why this song was so beautiful. March 29th 2020 I learned that my father had been hospitalized. Apparently my family kept it from me because they didn't want me to worry. You see I'm currently in pharmacy school and they knew that I was busy with exams. Upon being made aware I drove home and I listened to this song the entire 4 hour drive. During that drive, I just knew that he was probably not going to make it. Sadly, he passed away due to covid complications. Unfortunately I never got to say goodbye, I never got the chance to thank him for everything that he did for me. I'm still very broken as a result of it all. I never imagined that he'd pass away suddenly at the age of 56. My dad worked so hard his entire life that he never got to enjoy the fruits of his labor . Seeing him work as hard as he did I had made it my goal to strive to help him in the later years of his life. I wanted to see him relax, to see him smile and spend time with his family. I still dream of him, smiling and telling me, "Son, you are going to do a lot of great things in this world." The way things happened, the way I never got to see him or speak to him, the way I was just told to believe that my dad was buried 6ft in the ground... I grew angry at the world, angry at everything that's going on due to the pandemic, I stopped caring for others. It was painful to think that I kept telling myself that I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others but I never got the opportunity to be there for my family. I'm still struggling, it all comes and goes in waves. I'm still working to find a sense of happiness. I had stopped listening to this song for a while because of the painful emotions it brought me, it reminded me of that car ride. I realize now that I was just trying to not think about things and of the way things transpired. I'm going to finish pharmacy school in May 2023. Since then I've actually decided to learn how to play the piano. I learned that I can express all of my emotions through it, things that are too difficult to express in words. Playing the piano brings me an incredible sense of peace and joy. I hope to eventually go on to create my own work, it may be a very long time but this song will serve as reminder of how special a song can truly be. I'm still working to the best version of myself, to value life, and to enjoy it as much as I can with those that I love. I listen to this song often now and now serves as a reminder of my father, the man that never stopped striving for his dreams, the man that gave everything to help those around him, the man that despite adversity kept his hope alive, and the man that gave his children an amazing future. This song reminds me of all the wonderful moments that I had with him and for that I thank you Tony.

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 am 46 years old, and when I listened to this composition I found myself at the beginning of the path of letting go, tears again in my eyes. You cannot prepare for this. Thank you for your understanding ...! God bless you!

[@basselshalan4436]

May God have mercy on your mother's soul ❤️🙌

[@maryannnardelli1756]

I'm so sorry you lost your mom. I can't imagine losing my mom. I love her so much. She supports me through every hardship, heartbreak, every achievement. That's what a mother's job is. We can't take our mothers for granted.

[@adamnewton9021]

What a beautiful smile she has.

[@edgin67]

Тони, Ваша музыка великолепна и вечна ! Ваша мама очень гордилась бы Вами! Удачи Вам в творчестве ! Евгений из России.

Sorry for your loss! I lost my father a little under two years ago, this song really brought back good memories with him as well as a lump in my throat when thinking about him. 😥 Hang in there, it gets a little easier in time, but the feeling of loss is always there I'm afraid. I still find myself expecting him to walk through the door or call. Keep up the good work, your mom has every reason to be proud of you 💖

[@IPGAuto]

Tony, never forget: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." I hope you are still holding strong in faith. This world has nothing to offer and I pray you aren't getting caught up in it. I remember The Heart of Man..

[@FenomenoCreativo]

Tony, she's flying where the Light is eternal. She will be always by your side, in your Soul full of sensitivity. She is in the Music, because God is Music of the Soul. A big hug to you and your sister from an Italian superFan since the beginning. A sweet prayer for Her and all your family.

[@waldo3oo2]

I'm sorry for your loss. Your mother would have been proud of you.

[@mrMankx]

Keep coming back to this track, its amazing, best melody ever

[@macreative2009]

Hai Tony, I use your songs always in the Sauna as I work as a Aufguss master. I nice to see when poeple close their eyes, relaxed and the teardrop see falling on people faces. You music says enough. Tanxs for you music. Keep the spirit.

[@michaelmyritz979]

Your song, your words deeply touched my core. You are incredible - your mom always saw that.

[@livino_luca]

Oi Tony, Prazer me chamo Lucas e sou do Brasil e quero dizer que em meio a muitos Brasileiros que só dão ouvidos a musicas ofensivas e sem criatividade posso dizer que sou privilegiado em ter te conhecido e sou grato por ter gostos por musicas tão belas como suas Musicas! Gratidão por ter esse dom tão incrível pela Musica! Saiba que suas composições tem me trazido ótimos momentos de reflexões, momentos de espiritualidade e momentos de belas leituras! Gratidão novamente você esta fazendo um ótimo Papel aqui na terra.

[@KleptomaniacJames]

Your sentiment holds true even outside of Brazil

[@GamesAThome]

Estamos aqui, diretamente do Brasil. Bom saber que outras pessoas também escutam.

[@tomaszbartosiewicz7151]

It's like the relief of longing. Soothing sounds...

[@Az3r0]

You made me move by reading your lines, and even more by listening to this magnificent song. There is so much love. I am close to you.

[@chuyhighman6927]

RIP Ariana ✝...my condolences to Tony Anderson & your sister Sharon🛐

[@LauraSarahsMusicFilter]

You have to be strong to find the inspiration to create something so beautiful and light instead of something melancholic and heavy in times of greave. I am sure she is proud. I once read this (don't remember from who and the exact words but something like this): "You have to let go in order to keep that person in your heart and not the shadow of their los." Hope someone will remind me one day.

[@adhamk9767]

There are 17 with no eyes to read the description & no soul to feel the vibe of this BEAUTIFUL melody 💙 till u meet again in heaven god bless Ariana’s soul💙

[@jeremysette3657]

You have tapped into the divine and eternal with this touching piece. I'm sure God helped guide your hand in writing this song for your mother. What a beautiful song and sentiment. May you find peace and healing.

[@pi0tr3k939]

So peaceful and very personal sound. Beautiful like all mothers...

[@Floweenka]

My mom has cancer right now. She has between 6 months and 10 years, nobody knows. I never know how to behave. I'm trying to smile and showing her that I'm happy in my life. Sometimes I just cry alone so much because I am afraid. Because one day.. I''ll be left alone. But the whole situation reminds me to appreciate more my friends and family. At least, I will have the chance to say her goodbye. And I love you, Tony! You are one of my favorite artist in the world. Or in the space :))

[@lindigarner1944]

Keep heart dear. Enjoy every precious moment with your mom. My dad died last year after a 2 year battle with cancer. I feel your pain ❤️

[@Daniel_L_R]

I think this was the song I listen when I "found you" for the first time. I like sometimes to come again and listen to it. It'd immense ! I love the picture. I said to you on another song about LA that i dont like the homeless ppl there, in the sense that no one is doing nothing. This picture is a reminder that USA is also so beautiful, love the nature....but in this picture I would like to point out your mom smile and your sister happiness ! So pure all of this..the song, your mom and sister in the picture, the nature... keep blessing us with your music, shes proud of you !

[@Julsricci]

I believe that what your mom wanted to tell you is: "Think of me with a smile upon your face, look for me in the beauty of the world as I am a part of it, I am always around you".She gave you the most precious gift, the freedom of loving without the need for suffering. Thank you for your music.

[@OomphfromNZ]

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!

[@KingDarkhart]

Absolutely beautiful, Tony - She'd be proud.

[@cartoonheart1111]

Much gratitude as I am also experiencing loss in my life. May you & all who listen find peace.

[@mkhatame86]

Moms are the most wonderful thing in this world, and my friend you are blessed to have an amazing Mom like yours. Stay blessed for all eternity..

[@patriziabanno8005]

This music will travel again and forever your mother's smile , because this music shines with the sparks of your love for her. I hug you. From Italy.

[@JaydenLawson]

Man this is so beautiful. And the words bring tears to my eyes. What a lovely tribute, Tony

[@carapierce419]

Wow this brought me chills reading it. My mom also passed away that day of a long battle of cancer and we are from Nebraska. This song is beautiful and would be fitting to my mom also, so not only are you honoring your mom but others peoples moms who have passed. What a beautiful treasure. Your gift if just that a gift, your Mother is so proud of you. Now I am in tears thinking of the love my mom gave me.. Thank you for this song.... Her spirit is always with you.....

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

Cara Pierce wow. This is beautiful on so many levels. Thank you Cara. Miss you.

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

Cara Pierce realized you aren’t the cara pierce I went to college with. My mistake. But your words have so much life. Thank you.
