"You Can’t Ask the Wind Not to Blow” – Patrick Costello’s heartfelt tribute.

"You Can’t Ask the Wind Not to Blow” captures love, loss, and memory in every heartfelt note.

A new single release by Patrick Costello called “You Can’t Ask the Wind Not to Blow” is a masterpiece with lots of emotions involved, giving tribute to his late wife, Erica Ziegler, with whom he shared a beautiful bond for two decades. Costello surrounded himself with a dream team for this recording.

Patrick turns the grief into a timeless hymn of love with gentle strings and heartfelt lyrics.

“You Can’t Ask the Wind Not to Blow” begins with soft melodies and guitar strings, clearly adoring his wife with the lyrics. This single is not only a celebration of her life, but also her passion for bluegrass and harmonious singing, which is reflected in the entire song. “I never loved someone so much, but now I know, you can’t ask the wind not to blow.” It's heartbreaking to listen, but every word is a tribute to her; you could feel the pain in this song of losing a loved one. It’s tender, but there’s weight behind every note. Patrick’s deep voice with a heavy heart unwraps this track so deeply with the strumming of a guitar, a light patter of percussion, and the sharing of something they’ve been holding onto. You can hear the gratitude in each phase of the track. The song is intimate, sparkly, and evergreen.
