Memento
Each piece on this album holds strong and precious memories for me - places I’ve been to and have yet to return - special friends and those magical moments that never fade from thought - long ago days, watching the seasons change. Sitting on the beach at night, under a full moon. Conversations, unrealised dreams. All of these now appear most strongest in my mind and heart as melodies.
I hope you enjoy this little album of memories - my instrumental memoirs. Hopefully, even though they are my thoughts, the music might help rekindle a memory or two for you as well. Music is a universal language and it speaks to us on many vibrational levels.
Notes :
Betty’s Song was written for my mum when she passed away. Many listeners have requested a studio version of this track, as it has only appeared before on my live album.
Remembering You originally featured on Tales of the Wind and I have longed to re-perform it. I hope you enjoy the latest version, as for me it holds even more emotion now.
