Hopeful is this week's theme and I've seen some fantastic entries already published.

My song for this week is about losing someone very suddenly and wishing to still being able to connect to that person.

In 1912 the Titanic sank and in 1914 the First World War started; both events had people lose their loved ones, the war in much, much greater numbers of course. Both these events were covered in the program showing people who tried to get into contact with their dead, especially if the loss was sudden and there was no way of saying good bye. So called mediums were in high demand, getting people around tables and supposedly bringing the dead back for a short time.

I don't believe in an afterlife and mediums therefore are just good magicians to me making believe. However, if the hope that their loved ones are happy where they are helps people to overcome their grieve then that has to be a good thing!

Moonlight Shadow is a song we've been practicing with our band and I thought this theme would be an opportunity to play it on my own. It still needs polishing and I was struggling with those fast strums.. My fingers are very sore right now from too much playing..

The last that ever she saw him

The trees that whisper in the evening

I stay, I pray

Four A.M. in the morning

I stay, I pray

Far away on the other side

Thanks for looking!
