Art & Lyrics: Paula Bullent; 
Music, Arrangement & Producer: Euclid Pires; 
Post Production: Ethan M

I have a powerful and moving story to share with you.

Terry and Paula Bullent have lived a life touched by art, by teaching, and by a kind of creative partnership that leaves a mark on the people around them. Terry unfortunately now has advanced stages of Parkinson’s.

Paula, has written the most beautiful poem about their relationship. She has poured so much emotion and clarity into a poem about their shared journey… that alone is extraordinary.

I felt that spark strongly enough to translate it into music — to give her words another life, another medium, another way for people to feel what she expressed. 

As an act of care, friendship, and artistic respect. Collaborating with Ethan M. and giving it that John Farnham-style production, we believe we have created something truly stirring.

The final piece carries the weight of a lifetime, the fragility of the present moment, and the strength of a bond that endures through it all.

If you feel the power of the poem, the emotion, depth, tenderness and sincerity it was intended to be, please share it with friends, family and beyond and comment.
