While he never got to know his father as an adult, Denis says the many lessons that his father taught him in their short time together somehow seem more poignant as they echo through the many years since his passing.

Denis was only 16 years old when his father passed away suddenly at the relatively young age of 66. Song Lyrics - The autumn sun Warmed the sand Of the river running dry And around the gums Dads and mums Lay with dogs Under open skies And let the days slip. After all, what do you end up with at the end of it all, eh? You're not taking any money or land with you when you leave this world, so why waste time fighting about it during the short time we have here. His dad always laughed at fellows that were greedy and groundy as they called men that would fall out with a neighbour over putting a fence post two inches closer to his own land than he thought appropriate. Denis explains that while growing up, like most of the families around them, they didn't have much in material means, but they never went hungry and they had plenty when it comes to love and support from both his parents. The Measure Of A Man LyricistAlan Irwin Menken These battered hand are all you own This broken heart has turned to stone Go hang your glory on the wall.

FKA twigs fans will be happy to know that the track she teased on her Instagram page earlier this week, Measure of a Man, is now.
