Post-flu hibernation. Writing, trying to sing without coughing ;o), weaving little videos I took recently into my new song. May we all dance in the moonlight.
“I’m dancing in the moonlight
I’m dancing in the sun
Whatever happened to that sweet song
Has it really been that long?
I’m dancing in the moonlight
I’m dancing in the sun
With our tune inside my head
It happened to come back
I reclaim it all
The wild, the uncertain
I reach out for more
I lift up the curtain
The veil is getting thin
Strong pulse under my skin
I stamp feet I dare
The ground’s fully aware
That I’ll be flying, flying
I’m dancing in the moonlight”
The full moon was taken in December in York, the fire clip in the south of France at a family Christmas gathering(they al thought I was completely mad videoing the fire!!!), the bird in India, the leaves in York, the candle at aa Diwali festival near Leeds. I love capturing life’s beauty and gifts and weaving them into my songs.

Very beautiful how you weave your images through your song. Very creative!
Thank you so so much Jackie. I am so glad you enjoyed it. And thank you for taking the time to comment.
this is beautiful and this video was so well done!
Awww Tatianna. Big big thank you for receiving my song and video and for your generous comment.
Lovely – I like the balance of voice and instrument and image
Louis, How are you? So nice to hear from you. Thank you. I am so happy the balance comes across. It is sometimes so difficult to be objective when you do it all yourself. I was determined I wanted to film and record this in the staircase before the carpet got put down the next day. If you read my little text with the video you will have seen that I filmed the fire on Christmas Day at my aunt’s. The whole family thinks I am completely mad!
Hi Natacha – I’m fine – probably happiest when I’m singing. I find that with accompaniment, less is often more (luckily, given what I’m capable of). I like using my concertina as another voice sometimes, rather than trying to play fistfuls of chords. It seemed to me you do something like that with the guitar on this song. The video adds a whole other dimension to your art – far from being mad, I think it’s very clever of you to be able to manage that as well. Louis x
You are lovely. Thank you ;O)
Love your music. I have subscribed to your channel.
