** If that wasn't sad enough, some of his replies to listeners elaborated more; Richard apparently watched his father die, his mother said that she'd rather die of COVID-19 than go on without her partner of 62 years, and he had a realistic dream of him several days after his passing.

** If that wasn't tragic enough, some of his replies to listeners elaborate more; Richard apparently watched his father die, had a realistic dream of him several days later[[note]]"He was very relaxed and was just talking normally to me, standing there in the house right where I was asleep, I was so frozen scared and thought maybe he had started rotting or something and he then started to fade so i accepted what was happening and just hugged him, he stopped fading, I could smell his smell and feel his chest, was just like being awake...apart from he was about 10 years younger."[[/note]], and his mother said that she'd rather die of COVID-19 than go on without her partner of 62 years.

* The ambient synth piece [[https://soundcloud.com/user18081971/qu-1 "qu 1"]] is sad enough on its own, but add the fact that Richard announced his father Derek's death shortly before releasing it, and the song's cover art is a picture of Richard as a child with Derek, and it's ''devastating''.

* Richard made the Aphex Twin name as a memorial of sorts to his older brother, also named Richard, who died at birth. The ''Girl/Boy EP'' cover is a picture of his grave decorated with flowers. And likewise, "Girl/Boy Song" is a pretty heavy listen despite being a thematically and aesthetically whimsical track.
