Some photos from my gig in support of Brady Toops on his Hong Kong tour.

It was Valentine’s Day, and so of course I had to sing the song that I wrote on Valentines’ Day last year. I don’t usually write “love songs”, I don’t usually make a big deal out of Valentines’... But the story goes, I didn’t have a gift for my husband (not that uncommon...) and I thought that I would write him a little ditty to make him smile.

When I sat down at the piano and looked back through my journals at little lyric ideas here and there from the past few weeks, something took shape pretty quickly and suddenly I had a fully fledged song recorded... It’s called Sail On:

I love it when we fight together for the same cause,
Winning wars,
Bringing light to what’s right,
I love it when we climb together to a new height,
Breathing in the sights we see.

Love is sailing on an ocean
Of trust and truth and tears and turning round,
And I will sail with you when it’s dark,
When my compass is stuck,
When I’m all out of luck,
Sail on, sail on my sweet one.
