about

During the recording of the LP Robert's (drums) grandfather, at 87 was having an operation, which at the time seemed doubtful he would survive. I wanted to convey that when people we love who pass away we continue to hold them close. In our memories and thoughts, and even our actions. Their influence can be felt in our everyday lives.
Then I discovered a poem written by a friend about her grandfather passing.We never lose them, their souls dance with us to end of the world.

lyrics

Lyrics - Grand Dad's Mirror (Debra Blaquiere)

1.Think of all the tales it could recall
If grand dad’s shav-ing mirror….. could talk
Of the joys and sadness past
Seeking answers to our broken hearts
Speaking of our hopes and fears,
Bear Witness to our__ father’s tears,
When Gran passed away before her years

2. Sons, daughters, and good friends as well
Have stood before the mirror their stories to tell
Tales of clandestine love, to bid farewell
Shining medal on his lapel
Now kept safely in a drawer
Always a bold and strong man before
He enlisted to fight in the war

B. Oh how we love to look in Grand dad’s looking glass
See our faces change from a child
To men and women wise
To behold the beauty of my grandmother’s eyes

3. For many years, the looking glass sees so much change
The years somewhere stored within the mirror’s frame
Each day as grandad shaved
With his cut throat razor blade
When the grandchildren arrive
They watched on as the razor glides
The mirror watches on in silent pride

B. Oh how we love to look in Grand dad’s looking glass
See our faces change from a child
To men and women wise
To behold the beauty of my grandmother’s eyes
