Tell us something about your track Silently ‘neath the Willow Tree!
Silently ‘neath the Willow Tree is a song I wrote on January 29, 2024. This was written about a month after both of my parents passed away unexpectedly – my Dad on Christmas Day and my Mom on New Year’s Day. It is found on my “Dreamscapes” piano album released February 29 and composed in a quiet and reflective lullaby style. 

Without a doubt this song represents a mixture of many different feelings I have felt during this difficult time with feelings of nostalgia, sadness, memories, reflection, and quiet meditations. The Willow Tree has often captured many of these moods and I have always enjoyed the calm, dreamy, and relaxing thoughts I encounter when around this beautiful tree. 

Thank you for sending this in!
