Following the loss of his father frontman Dave Le’aupepe uses songwriting as an eloquent and poignant outlet for his grief. “in the wake of your leave” converts sorrow into a song that burns with life-affirming, passion.

Of the song, Dave Le’aupepe says, “I wanted to reflect on how I became dependent on grief for solace and inspiration. The cycle from numbness to acceptance to yearning plays a role in my approach to grieving my dad’s death. As a result, most of the time, I feel a bit futile as a person.”
