In a Memory

... is a song about reflections on the past featuring the most excellent Alice Minguez on vocals. 

Of all the collaborations I have been involved with, this is the one my mother enjoys the most! It is a favourite of mine too.

I chose the spiral image (from Pexels.com) to represent the song, mostly because the repeating sections, and especially the beginning and end sections, which to me feel like  musical spirals. I was influenced by the Beatles when writing the music for the song.

I sometimes

Live a memory

In my dreams

There was destiny"

Dennis King (West Hills, CA, USA) wrote the poignant lyrics.

Nick Anderson (Modbury, UK) laid down a really solid drum performance.

Alice's vocals (Alice Minguez, Wisconsin, USA), are really something. What a great singer!

I did the backing music, guitars, bass, keys & mixing.

 

In a Memory lyrics by Dennis King

Prelude

I just thought to say hello

To an old life

I used to know

But that was in the past

Verse 1

Going down this road

I’ve been here before

Familiar and old

It’s a memory of the past

In my mind

I relive the moments

As the years unwind

I say hello

To the past

The days of old

Go by so fast

Bridge 1

I sometimes

Live a memory

In my dreams

There was destiny

A person a place

That I have seen

Stays with me

In my memories

Chorus 1

My past life

Where I come running

In my dreams

I come running

In my mind

I come running home to you

Repeat verse 1, bridge 1 and chorus 1 a second time
