Three years ago, my partner Alan, died unexpectedly. I cried every day for at least six months as I could not believe he'd gone. I felt we'd been cheated. Him of his life, and me of a wonderful man. The morning after he passed I woke up crying from a dream he was in and this song was in the dream, and on my mind. I don't know why this song. Now, whenever I hear it, Alan is with me. I listen to it and it gives me the deepest nostalgic and emotional feeling. It's now our song, forever. Rest in peace, beloved. Xx

At 56, I still remember the good times, and when I see and hear these wonderful videos, they make me travel, relive and numb me warmly and I will never let them be lost. There are so many great songs from my youth that make me think and wonder if there is a way to preserve the good things. Well, now that I stopped working, I'm about to convert all the music videos to virtual reality. I don't know if copyright will let me publish them for free??? But I'll try, what can I say?
