Can you hear me?
This is a new song that was partly written about a conversation I heard my Dad have with an Uncle. When my Mum and Dad got married they lived with my Dad’s mother (my Ma) in a road of Scotland Road in Liverpool. It was a very grey terraced house area. I came along and when I was 18 months old we all moved to a 3 bedroom semi in a suburban area in Liverpool called West Derby. The house had a front and back garden with hedges and there were beautiful trees in the road and grass verges.
My Dad was expressing how he felt on the first day of coming out the house and seeing so much greenery, a moment he would never forget. This song is about those moments that stay with you all through your life.
