Today is the funeral of Ged Clarke.

It is hard to think of ways of how to say Goodbye to a dear friend, husband, father, son, uncle, brother...
There is never a good time to die, even if too young or had sufficient time on this earth.
We never want to lose a loved one.

So, we shall say an Adieu. He remains in our heart, our thoughts, our memories, our photos.

Two significant songs have been chosen to be played at the funeral.

One of these songs is The Scientist, by Cold Play. There are many interpretations on the lyrics.
It can be a song about the chemistry and strength of love;
a song about forgiveness;
a song about starting over, making mistakes and acknowledging them;
a song about questions and analysing, chasing answers around.

Let me share this emotive piece of beautiful music... savour the words and the melody. The meaning and depth will change every time you hear them depending on your place, circumstance and mood. A song of many stories touching people in different ways. As Ged did.

"Nobody said it would be easy" but together we can all help make it easier, unified by the undeniable thought we all share that he is and was a wonderful man.

Come up to meet ya, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
And tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ah ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
