about

This last track was written after the death of my friend Eric from lung cancer. This brave man never deserved such a horrible illness, but he never once felt sorry for himself, and always tried to live his life to the full in his final months. I wrote the piece in the week following Eric’s passing. I was sat by the patio door overlooking the garden, noodling away on the guitar. It started to rain, and there was that wonderful smell of rain hitting grass that is somewhat intoxicating. I thought that Eric would have found great beauty in that moment (he loved nature in all its forms) and so ‘Summer Rain’ was created. Rather than rerecord this piece for the album this is the original (take 3) demo recording I did at the time. I don’t think I have ever been able to match the emotion of this take.
