Richard Swift was a singularly talented musician and producer; his illness and death reveal how fragile everything really is. Love and support to his friends & his family & all those he made beautiful music with. https://t.co/QF5Px5HVCR

Richard Swift was a beautiful, powerful wizard. It really hurts that he’s gone.

I remember you as are our hero in black suit jacket and jeans, crystal blue eyes piercing through smoke-filled studio, a beautiful, cynical, funny wizard with a mysterious past, pain and joy in your soul, and your beloved daughters and wife close by. pic.twitter.com/fk6ojND0Nu

If you haven't heard Swift's music, maybe start with "The Novelist" today. It changed our lives. As for Swift himself, he gave us our lives as we know them. Swift, you would scoff at the notion, but you are in Heaven now. Not sure what we're supposed to do down here. ❤️🌫
