Years ago I was talking to an Indian woman who became really enamored by the fact I knew that Brimful of Asha was a reference to her. Her gushing reaction made me realize what I knew was just a piece of trivia and there was so much more to understand about the woman and why a british indian kid in the 90s would write such an uplifting song about her. She sent me away with some homework and it was a hell of an experience.

I used to have a tape of Clannad that I played in the car to reduce stress when driving. This was probably their best known track:

Today, my heart is heavy.
We lost an incredible person far too soon. A teammate, a friend, and above all, a truly exceptional human being. We shared the pitch together, but more importantly, we shared moments that I will carry with me forever.
He was one of the kindest and most professional person I have ever met. Always there for others, always giving his best — not just in football, but in life. Someone you could trust, respect, and learn from every single day.
The world has lost an amazing father, a loyal friend, and a person who made everyone around him better.
My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
Rest in peace, my friend. You will never be forgotten.
