Death's Lament
A big part of my musical day involves playing at Carehomes throughout South Wales and when the pandemic hit all that work stopped .I decided to write a musical about how these care homes and all the lovely staff and residents were effected .This song is sung by the character of Death , but unlike the stereotypical image of Death being a 'baddy' I decided that this death would be a kind , benevolent , welcoming Death.
