This cover is dedicated to my brother Mark Manuel who left us on the 19th of December 2022 after a failed bone marrow transplant. Mark was battling a disease called Aplastic Anemia. His demise was tragic and untimely. He was taken away before his time.
Mark was a beautiful human being inside and out. He was the nicest, funniest person I've ever known. Always smiling and bringing other people joy and laughter. It was a privilege growing up alongside him. I always followed in his footsteps, emulating him in everything I did. He will always be a part of me. I will carry him with me forever.
I'll share some of my experiences as this cover is a form of therapy for me.
Over the past few months, I took a break to process my grief. But what does processing the loss of my sweet brother even mean? I don't think any amount of time will be enough to grieve Mark. He was so young. None of us could have imagined him leaving us. There is no getting over you Mark. There is no moving on from this. It's always going to hurt the same. The only thing that I can do is to accept the situation and honour you and pay tribute to you in any way I can.
Mark & I grew up listening to music and singing together. I share every single early musical experience with him. I learned to harmonize by imitating him. We grew up covering songs together.
Even during his last few days, he played the guitar and sang. When he could no longer play, he would call out the chords and ask me to play for him and sing with him.
I remember how I had to keep it together in his hospital room. I never let him see me cry. I laughed and joked with him. When I couldn't keep up the pretense anymore, I'd go out into the halls and scream cry. Wash my face and go back in to see him, like nothing happened. I convinced myself that I had to be strong for him. Should I have shown him my sadness? I thought if I lost my composure, it would break him. Imagine waking up in a delirious state to see people around you bawling and crying. I couldn't risk that. But I go back and forth in my head. Maybe it would comfort him to know that we were hurting too. I don't know.
On the 19th of January, 2023, Sudipto lost his dog Pingo very tragically. Pingo fought bravely and lost the battle to cancer and left in the most heartbreaking way imageable. I remember Sudipto and I bawling on the phone, sharing stories and consoling each other. Pingo was the happiest dog I've ever met. Always standing on two feet, wagging his tail and hoping around in joy. He could never keep calm. He was always excited and ready to play. I loved that little firecracker so much.
I can't even imagine how Sudipto must feel. You the viewers of this channel have been so encouraging, asking me to take as much time as I needed before returning. Brands that I worked with have been so understanding. I filmed hair campaigns with brands in as early as November 2022. As a courtesy, they did not release the content until now. I am beyond grateful for the grace shown to me. I cannot thank them enough. Sudipto did not get the opportunity to take time off work like I did. As a music producer with clients and deadlines, he had to hop right back into it. I can't imagine his plight back then. I can't imagine what it must be like to have to work on the same day. My heart goes out to him.
Sudipto and I decided to do this cover in an attempt to acknowledge our loss and express our grief. I must also extend my gratitude to Gaurab who graciously accepted the invitation to play drums on the track. As someone who knew Mark and Pingo personally, there was no better person for the job. Thank you Gaboo.
On a concluding note, the biggest comfort is for me to look beyond myself and tell myself that I am not alone in any of this. I am not the only person to have lost a brother. My family is not the only family in the world to have experienced the loss of a son. We are all connected in this shared experience. If you have gone through something similar. You are not alone. I hope this thought brings you comfort. To all of you who wrote to me and checked in on me and kept me in your thoughts for months after Mark's loss, I must say thank you. I never knew the power a consoling message had until now. Please know that I read your comments and dms hundreds of times. I'm sorry I was too weak to respond. I read your words repeatedly. You gave me so much comfort. I cannot make a video talking about my feelings. Please allow me do it with this song instead.
An undoubtedly amazing tribute 🙏🏻 Rest in peace Mark ❤️ Also you have an amazing voice Michelle ✨

It's so good to hear from you Michelle, that too through a lovely song in your voice.
I am a dog parent too and I can understand how much pain Sudipto must be in. My brother is a cancer survivor who underwent treatment for Mycosis Fungoides which is a T-cell lymphoma. My family went through so much anxiety during that period. I am so sorry about the loss you and Sudipto faced.
I will pray for you and Sudipto to have the strength to cope with the tragedies in your life. May Mark and Pingo rest in peace.
Thank you so much for sharing Shreya!

Only recently came across your channel, checking out your content, responses to the queries posed, and realising how beautiful and strong you are inside and out!
I know this is late, but hopefully you take solace in the fact I pray for the entirety of humanity to prevail and succeed through tough times, never on anothers' plight but rather together!
Wishing you love, hope and health ❣️
