NOTRE FUTUR

This composition, a joyous and bittersweet tribute to lost friends and precious memories of time spent together, calls for building a more loving place, so that future memories can be even sweeter.
            Sung in French, NOTRE FUTUR first tells of someone who perishes from a gun shot in the night, never to see the sun rise again. The piece goes on to call for a more peaceful world, marked by a greater level of caring for one another.
            “I am crying, but listen to me,” the lyrics conclude. “With love, we can have a better place.”
