It’s not perfect. Nothing in life is. My dad always told me to just sing. Sing in whatever style I wanted, sing, sing, don’t worry about perfection, or getting so hung up on the details because ultimately music is self expression. I love my dad. I was lucky I had him for 34 years. Flow from Final Fantasy XIV gives me a lot of comfort and makes me extremely emotional. In some ways, I know he’s excited that I’m singing this outside of my comfort zone, but, it doesn’t make it any less scary.
This is for you, papa.
Ti Voglio Bene,
Marco

Feeling very vulnerable posting this. But, I am trying to release the perfection I used to carry in my opera career. That's the truth. I just want to express myself and my soul and be imperfect. This is all we have. Our imperfections, are what make us perfectly imperfect. This song is just mesmerizing. Thank you Soken. Thank you for making this.
This is dedicated to my dad. Who saw me. Perfect or not.

your voice is so wonderful, with so much emotion, this made me tear up
Very heartfelt
Thank you for sharing this story and your voice with us.
I’m in love Marco 😍🫠
🥲You Did An Amazing Cover R.I.P For Your Father We Are All Here With You the emotions got me tearing up 🥲😥
Thank you, that's all that can really be said from the bottom of my heart <3
😢 Cried a little listening to this. Just so special. Bet your father will be proud to see this community that you've built. Loosing someone close can be the worst ever. But that usually means you have happy memories to look back and smile.
Beautiful. ❤️
Wow, it looked really difficult to even make it through the song with that amount of emotion. It must have taken so much courage to upload this, but I'm really glad you did. Great to see you singing again Marco!
❤❤❤
I'm not native speaker, so excuse me for mistakes
I feel very obligated to see something this personal, and I'm very sorry for your loss. Flow recently became my comfort song. I had to go separate ways with my dearest friend, and the thought we will never see each other hurts, but still, I have my memories, and they shall shine bright.
Same goes for your pops. I know separation and… Other thing is different, but my point is, you remember this person, and you can carry this memory to others, to inspire them, to make them feel better, like your dad did.
So, thank you for sharing and inspiring. It means a lot.
<3
Your voice just melted me away! It's clear just how much you love your father and the bond between you two was strong. I wish I had the same with mine. Very happy for you and I hope you continue to heal ❤
A very touching tribute. I'm sure he would have loved it. How could he not with as much heart that you put into it. I wish I could say that I don't know how this kind of loss feels. During the last five years, my family have suffered several tragedies. Starting with my grandpa, that was like a father to me, and the most recent death was my grandma at the end of February. I was incredibly close to them and I know this kind of pain well. I hope and pray that one day things will get easier for you. I wish you all the happiness in the world.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Maybe I'm totally mistaken, but it resembled some 1920s-30s music? A very charming performance.
