Well, it's taken my spirit many years to find the courage to allow this song to be offered to the public. Especially under this so called "Blood of the Black Owl" banner. With that said however, it's never felt more appropriate as of late, through this fading musical endeavor of mine known as Blood of the Black Owl and I'm ready to share a poignant piece of work.

"Her Last Few Hours of Life" is a memorial piece capturing one of the rawest emotive experiences within my life. Literally just after my baby girl Tripawed, a feline, whom I raised from roughly two months old passed away within my arms. The very next two days, I was compelled to offer myself and my life partner Rachel, medicinal release for both of our heartbroken spirits. I've never truly had anything just flow its way so easily out of the heart, as much as this song had. Regarding my personal process, that's a tremendous statement, as this notion is what I thrive upon within in my work. For authenticity is everything and "The way to Catch the River is to hold very lightly."

As I rediscover this song and look upon the photographic element Rachel captured of the two of us the day of her death, I'm still heartbroken. I've never truly loved anything as strongly as I had with her and my other sweet girl Berkana. A black feline whom also was raised from kitten hood and lived seventeen years with Rachel and I. The release of this work if anything, is certainly symbolic of me finally moving on.

The sampled recording you will hear within the last movement of the song, is audio taken from a video recording. A beautiful moment with myself saying goodbye the day she passed. If you listen carefully, you will hear her finally react to my presence with a good old head shake.

Suffering from cancer and kidney failure, she died within my arms, within my home and was seventeen years when she passed on November 17th, 2013.

I dedicate this song to all of you whom have transcended the horrible human mentality of speciesism and found true love and loss within our beautiful beings, our fur babies, our four legged brothers and sisters, sons and daughters...Our friends.

Love and warmth,
-Chet W. Scott

***TESTIMONIALS***

Thank you for this very beautiful and emotional piece of work! As someone who's had to say goodbye to several furry loved ones over the years, this song resonates strongly with me. I got both choked up and teary-eyed listening to it.

Take care and be well,
-Thorbjörn

Recorded on an actual sound console without the use of software simulation and trickery at Glass Throat Recordings on the unceded ancestral lands of the first people of the Dkhw Duw’Absh, (Duwamish Tribe), past and present.

I raise up with honor and gratitude the Coast Salish land itself and the Dkhw Duw’Absh.
