A Song For Edward

SUPPORT THE CAUSE AND HELP GET IT INTO THE CHARTS BY BUYING FROM AMAZON, GOOGLE PLAY & ITUNES! bit.ly/ASongForEdward Edward Dee was a young boy who sadly passed away at the age of just 10 years old from Meningitis and Sepsis. His family set up a charity to raise money in his memory and I met his mum Elizabeth at a networking event. We talked about my songwriting services, so Elizabeth asked me if I could write a song about him. A few weeks passed and then I was humbled and honoured to be invited to sit down and have a chat about him over coffee and biscuits in their home town of Lytham. The more we talked about him, the more it became clear just how loved and noticed he was within the community. A real character with vigour and a lust for life and his passing has united the community in ways you could only imagine. The support for the charity and for this young man's family is mind boggling and the drive, passion and solidarity to raise money is commendable. When I came back to my studio and began pulling our conversation together into lyrics, I sat down at my piano and started writing. I could almost feel his energy jumping off the page and it was an emotional process writing the melodies. It had to be as uplifting and determined as Edward clearly was in life and most importantly written for him. Something to sing to him, to his memory rather than a song about him. It's A Song For Edward. The song was released via Amuse.io as a charity single across all the major platforms, streaming services and Bandcamp on Friday 7th September 2018. All profits will be going to the charity and The Edward Dee Fund are looking for radio stations, TV stations and other platforms who would be willing to support its release by playing it on their shows.
