A castle fit for a queen is magnificent, but only if you are prepared to be a kind, humble, and loving king. Otherwise it is merely a stone prison, and you will spend your time worrying about loosing what is not rightfully yours.

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.

New sketch I'm working on, it's been a while so I thought I'd share :) 

Thanks so much for listening everyone! 

If You're Listening
Hey you up there are you listening?
Because I feel so all alone
And I mingle with the people
But it doesn't feel like home.
I greet them with an open heart
And the smile will reach my eyes
But somehow this soul is set apart
Wearing courage her disguise

Love, love, love
Oh it's just beyond my reach
But I feel it in the sunrise
In the dancing of the leaves
Love, love, love
Oh I've seen it in my dreams
So hey you up there, if you're listening
Show me you can hear my plea.

I float on with the river
And as I crash upon the stones
The cleansing flow it brings new hope
And it's seeping through my bones.
Spirit guides, please guide me
I've surely lost my way
I don't know if I should fight or hide
Paralyzed by fear or faith.

Love, love, love
Oh it's just beyond my reach
But I feel it in the rainfall
And I hear it on the breeze
Love, love, love
Oh I've seen it in my dreams
So hey you up there if you're listening
Show me you can hear my plea.

Here I stand with my arms open wide
I raise my voice up to the night
And the lady moon she shines so bright
And I swear she whispers..... "It's alright"
Love, love, love
Always just beyond my reach
I feel it in the starlight
In the ground beneath my feet
Love, love, love
Here I'm down on bended knee
So hey you up there, if you're listening
Will you save some love for me
Hey you up there if you're listening
Will you save some love 
For me?
