Sorry for my abscence, I'm back with new material for my second album. I'd really got distracted from doing what I do which is record songs. Although been able to self promote via the web is a great thing, it really can get to you. This new track will feature on my second album. The song is called "The Stone That Brought The Girl", people have asked for an explanation of the title so here goes-:
Common scenario of a couple being told they can't have children, so we'd kind of accepted this. We were travelling in Vietnam and I was somewhere up The Mekong and whilst in a buddhist temple I noticed two large stones with water cascading down upon them. A monk told me if I went under the water I could touch only one of the stones. One would bless me with wealth and the other would give us a child. What would you choose?
I am still not wealthy but I am now the father of a beautiful little girl, this inspired the title and became the song. Voila. Inspiration comes from the strangest sources.
Enjoy the song and make of it what you will and I'd really love feedback at this stage of putting my second album together.
Love and music.
Al.
