This was the very first song I ever wrote. The piano came first and the words followed. It was professionally recorded when I was 15 years old and still remains a favourite with many of my friends and family.
I am currently in Switzerland for three days and hoping to shoot one or two videos for Dan Shaw for the EP just completed some days ago.
The song was written to honour my grandfather who passed away when I was 9 years old. We were very close and he would have been so proud of me.
A fond memory I have of him is sitting on the beach at night with his sundowner in his hand and saying "Look Around You - It Will Astound You" I have written a song about that too and will enter it soon.
Here is my entry at last - a bit late due to work pressure and travels - but, as the saying goes, rather late than never. This week I am performing and singing with piano - this is an original piece of music and original lyrics.
