So calm and elegant.. It gives me a good feeling of nostalgia for some reason, maybe it reminds me of the time when my family and I listened to more wonderful music like this... I really liked it, Andrew! It will be one of my favorites. 👏🏻👏🏻

Empathy and melodic sensitivity combine in this sweetly touching demo from Andy Dolphin in which he tries to come to terms with the sense of pain and loss he experiences as he tries to reconcile his aging parents' loss of memory. Well-written, well sung with backing vocals amplifying the poignancy.

Beautiful song which I can relate to with parents who have both since passed on. Sensitively and beautifully done Andy

For me this is a love song to your parents... so touching and beautiful. Thanks for sharing ! Heartwarming and at the same time a little scary. What will our shrinky world once be like ? But hey, i love it. Bravo !

I am geting used to wonderful songs from you, with themes which are so "different" but so relevant to so many. You really deserve to get these songs recognised for what they are, I wish you all the luck you deserve.

A Day In Your Shrinking World

V1
I watch as your star is fading
The sun setting in your sky 
Passing days that take your memories
And all those conflicts in your head
Maybe I would comprehend 
If only I could spend 
A day in your shrinking world

V2
What’s it like in your world
As it shrinks day by day
Cos’ I see distance growing in your eyes
Is it as painful as it seems  
Maybe I would comprehend
If only I could spend 
A day in your shrinking world

Bridge
Where is hope, when time is calling 
Only borrowed time to cling on to
Praying for another morning 
Another fractured day to get on through
Knowing someday you won’t know you 

V3
I can’t pretend much longer
The pain is for me to bear
Recalling the person that you used to be
The bond that cannot be repaired
Is what I cannot understand 
Surely I’d have to live
A day in your shrinking world
Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
A day in your shrinking world
Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
A day in your shrinking world

A Day In Your Shrinking World

Just an amateur having fun. Some songs are pro- demos and some are my own GarageBand efforts, aiming to learn a bit of production. But I enjoy the writing part the most. Influences are Queen, Beatles + solos, Elton John, Billy Joel, ELO. Play piano, mostly classical, Chopin is my favourite
