Arms (The Paper Kites)

This week, I'm thinking about choral music (and missing my friends at EnKor) but also love and loss and everything else this rollercoaster of a year has brought us. No piece felt more fitting than Eric Whitacre's Sing Gently which, incidentally, was just starting to make its way into the world precisely this time last year.

Sing Gently (Eric Whitacre)

Amor Pelos Dois (Salvador Sobral)

A favourite of mine, especially for those pool-side summer gigs! Here's an impromptu take on a timeless track I'm sure you'll recognise.

Pure Imagination (standard)

Christmas time is... pretty intense, if I'm honest 😅 BUT I wanted to put together a little something for the end of the year, so here it is: the standard of all Christmas standards. Il-Milied u s-sena t-tajba! 🎄

Christmas Time is Here (Vince Guaraldi, A Charlie Brown Christmas)

This song brings back such vivid memories of teenage me falling in love with Coldplay's (then alternative) X&Y and spending hours playing through the songbook! And after hearing the stories version some time last week, I couldn't help but play around with the melody and make my own little version.

Swallowed In The Sea (Coldplay)

I recently moved country without bringing along any instruments (except for my trusty little Roli blocks) and I miss playing piano so badly. At a parallel point in time and space, Jacob Collier released one of his sweetest songs to date and I couldn't stop thinking about it—to the point of slowly figuring out those lovely pre-chorus chords in my head as I walked to school. Here is my entirely un-quantised interpretation of Little Blue, made in GarageBand.

Little Blue (Jacob Collier)

It's been a long while since my last multi-track cover, but here's a little (belated) something I put together for Valentine's Day - because I'm an absolute sucker for a classic love song.

Close To You (Carpenters)

Forever obsessed with this melody. Here's my take on one of my favourite Billie Eilish tracks, with some help from the wonderful live features on the Nord Stage 3.

When The Party's Over (Billie Eilish)

A gentle reminder that this too shall pass, here's my little spin on the classic 'Here Comes the Sun'.

Here Comes The Sun (The Beatles)

I don’t know about you guys, but never before in my life have I been more grateful to be a creative. I took solace in this piece of music which I love very much, a beautiful jazz standard called ‘Like Someone in Love’. 

Very recently I came across this passage, and I hope that it reaches anybody who needs to hear it: "The act of creating something validates your existence. You are here. You are breathing. You are alive. The work says so." X
