Hi everyone
I wanted to spread the word about a song that's being released in August/September (We still haven't had a firm date from the record label) in aid of The Alzheimers Society, with their full support
The single is called ‘The Dimming Of The Light’ all profits from each download of the single will go to the charity (a full £1.00 per download). The song can be heard at www.myspace.com/damianmorgan or at www.reverbnation.com/damianmorganmikedoyle but won't be downloadable until the release date
The lyrics relate to my own experiences with my Mum (who is in the later stages of Alzheimer's). I remember reading poetry written by carers and finding it very moving and ultimately it helped articulate feelings I had myself...I hope this does the same. I'd really love to hear your opinions on the song.
Yours sincerely
Damian
The Dimming Of The Light
Hold my hand; remember me
One more time remember me
You held these hands through nightmares
Broken toys and bugbears
Touch my face; remember me
One more time remember me
You saw this face through trouble
Bullying and stubble
But this isn’t night, this can’t be right
Slow and painful
The dimming of the light
Speak my name; remember me
One more time remember me
This boy you fed and swaddled
But never mollycoddled
Say that you remember me
One more time remember me
But your memories are broken
And no words can be spoken
But this isn’t night, this can’t be right
Slow and painful
The dimming of the light
Before you go remember me
Just one more time remember me
I know now you will never
Your rooms are dark forever
But this isn’t night, this can’t be right
Slow and painful
The dimming of the light
