“The experience of loss of a loved one is shared by every single human, but it still can be devastating. This song and music video is a place of mourning shared by family and friends of Tony Aponte and all the treasured people in our lives who have passed. It is also an encouragement to keep living and honoring the beauty of the world that continues. We are encouraging everyone to join us in donating to the Kidney Foundation in honor of Tony Aponte’s legacy. He was someone who definitely brought joy and upliftment to our metal community and turned us all into a united tribe.” – Meka Nism
