Like a gentle rain in spring, she wants to be happy. Blue skys are permeated by sporadic clouds, giving chilly reminders of the past. Green buds on frail branches timidly risk growth in hope of achieving full bloom once again someday. April showers bring May flowers, at least so we hope.

ALBUM INFO:

"The Idea Of You" is the first of a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may it help you on your journey, as it has us...

The Idea Of You Cover Art "The Idea Of You" is music inspired by the spirit of Eros and all of its blessings as well as its tribulations. It explores the vicissitudes of romantic love, the delicate seasons and contour of life, and all the lessons learned along the way. Themes of desire, passion, limerence, romantic love, idolatry, jealousy, envy, loss, regret, forgiveness, acknowledgment, appreciation, acceptance, and eventually glimpses of true understanding permeate the work. It attempts to communicate that which so many of us can never quite communicate properly with words. It is an open apology for the clumsy mistakes we all make when coming to maturity in learning how to care selflessly for another human being. It is a gentle reminder as to what is most important in life, as well as an invocation to continuously seek self-improvement regarding our understanding of such matters.

پرده پرده،آنقدر از هم دریدم خویش را
تا که تصویری ورای خویش دیدم خویش را

خویشِ خویشِ من،همینک از در صلح آمدست
بس که گوش از غیر بستم،تا شنیدم خویش را

بَرده داران زمان ها چوب حراجم زدند
دستِ اول تا برآمد خود خریدم خویش را

بزم سازان جهان مِی از سبوی پُر خورند
من تهی پیمانه بودم،سَرکشیدم خویش را

                              ((معینی کرمانشاهی))
