This is entitled "Lamentations of the Heart." It sounds very much like a song I wrote back in 1988 when I moved to South Africa. Of course, Philip Wesley is a much more accomplished pianist than I, and he took his instrumental piece to the next level. My song was written from the heart of a 18-year old, missing home, missing the one she left behind that said he would wait for her.
I never wrote the sheet music for it, but once in a while will sit at my mother's ancient upright piano, and my fingers well remember, and some of the words come back to me...

ReplyDeleteThat was then... no sorrow now, only reflection. The melody is what touches me... it was powerful. Shadows... I am beginning to loathe that word, and it's presence.
