Song To The Siren

In an evening filled with the magic of live music, there was one moment that transcended the rest, a performance so meaningful to me that it became the essence of this recording. This was not just any concert at De Doelen; it was a night where every note played was a tribute to the most special person in my life – my mom. She couldn't be there to witness it, a regret that lingers with me more than any technical decision about the recording process. In lieu of a multitrack recording, what we have is a mix directly from the front-of-house, a raw and unfiltered capture of that unforgettable encore dedicated entirely to her.

This performance, now immortalized in this live recording, holds a piece of my heart. It was in that encore, filled with emotion and an unspoken connection across distances, that I thanked my mom, dedicating my art to her in front of an audience that became witnesses to our bond. The absence of my family that night added a bittersweet layer to the experience, a reminder of the personal sacrifices we make for our passions and the moments of triumph that feel incomplete without our loved ones to share them.

I love this recording so much, not just for the music or the applause, but for what it represents – a son's love for his mother, a moment of gratitude amidst the grandeur of performance. It's a piece of me, a memory encapsulated in sound, so profound and personal that I felt compelled to share it with the world. This album is not just a release; it's an invitation to partake in a moment that, despite its joy, held an undertone of longing and reflection.

I share this with you not just as a listener, but as a part of the story, a bridge to the moment when the stage was more than a platform for performance, but a space for heartfelt tribute. May this recording resonate with you, as it does with me, and serve as a reminder of the unbreakable connections we hold dear, even in absence, even in the pursuit of our dreams.
