about
Heartfelt original acoustic song about being in lockdown and missing loved ones during this difficult time. Written and recorded at home.
lyrics
A year like no other year
So long since you were near
At the cafe in the park
The sky turns from blue to grey
Though birdsong leads the way
There's a sadness in my heart
I know we can't be close
Hope is all we hold
I will love you, can still love you ~ from afar
A dream like no other dream
Pretty coastal scene
We were singing in your car
I know we can't be close
Hope is all we hold
I will love you, can still love you ~ from afar
We'll soon be together
Through this storm we'll weather
Though we may feel alone, if we stay home
We'll return to a world we know
A day like no other day
When I will see your face
Not from a window or a screen
I know we can't be close
Hope is all we hold
I will love you, can still love you
I will love you, can still love you ~ from afar
So long since you were near
At the cafe in the park
The sky turns from blue to grey
Though birdsong leads the way
There's a sadness in my heart
I know we can't be close
Hope is all we hold
I will love you, can still love you ~ from afar
A dream like no other dream
Pretty coastal scene
We were singing in your car
I know we can't be close
Hope is all we hold
I will love you, can still love you ~ from afar
We'll soon be together
Through this storm we'll weather
Though we may feel alone, if we stay home
We'll return to a world we know
A day like no other day
When I will see your face
Not from a window or a screen
I know we can't be close
Hope is all we hold
I will love you, can still love you
I will love you, can still love you ~ from afar

Rosie Thomas is a wonderful female singer/songwriter. Her music is so moving and With Love is another gorgeous heartfelt album. She is a big inspiration to me as I also write songs from the heart.

The Ones Who Wait
by Denison WitmerI saw Denison a few years back playing with, and supporting Rosie Thomas and he is an incredible songwriter. Definitely evokes melodic warmth as the description says and deserves to be a bigger name.
