07.01.2022 Sunday #9, singing East. It was incredibly cold and windy so just 3 quick pieces tonight. Next week we're moving to 3pm, so there's still some daylight, and hopefully a bit more heat lol

03.01.2022 Today is Mother's Day here in Australia. I've been doing my mother's shopping since isolation started, and so we are part of the same "iso bubble", which means I'm incredibly fortunate that I get to see her at least once most fortnights. This was her first time on the rooftop with us. Today was for all of Mums, and all those women who may not have children but still give the nurturing and support I was lucky enough to get. Although I completely blame her for me forgetting t...he words of a song I've sung at least 300 times and havg to restart haha Sylvie and I each chose a piece that was a favourite of our mothers'. I had intended to never sing a notably religious song from the rooftop, but this Ave Maria by Gounod means an enormous amount to my Mum, and was a special bond between my grandmother and me. Sylvie chose the sublime Mattinata for her mother. I have included the lyrics to my second piece, Mama, below...the words resonate of the relationship between my Maman and I. Yes, a more sentimental description usual ... but this is Mother's Day, so it's one day that I can be :-) Ave Maria - Bach/Gounod Mama - Romdhane, Kotecha & Larossi Mattinata - Leoncavallo Summertime - from Porgy & Bess, by George Gershwin Mama Mama thank you for who I am, thank you for all the things I'm not Forgive me for the words unsaid and for the times I forgot Mama remember all my life, you showed me love, you sacrificed Think of those young and early days, how I've changed along the way Along the way And I know you believed and I know you had dreams And I'm sorry it took all this time to see That I am where I am because of your truth And I miss you, I love you Mama forgive the times you cried, forgive me for not making right All of the storms I may have caused and I've been wrong dry your eyes Dry your eyes Cause I know you believed and I know you had dreams And I'm sorry it took all this time to see That I am where I am because of your truth And I love you, I love you Mama I hope this makes you smile, I hope you're happy with my life At peace with every choice I made how I've changed along the way Cause I know you believed in all of my dreams And I owe it all to you, mama
