about

Amelia is an old song that never made it onto the 2020 album ‘The Frailty of Humans'.

Written many years ago by Al Rate after reading a book by Simone Felice called 'Goodbye Amelia'. The song had lay dormant till George Gadd heard the song in a 'Lockdown' live set and suggested a collaboration.

So here it is ... a song for the summer, recorded, produced and mastered under lockdown conditions.

Enjoy!

lyrics

Amelia

Ooooh, Amelia how do you break free
Skim stones on a river, do you ever think of me?
Do you like to walk barefoot in the coldest of streams
like a soft summer wind, so lost in your dreams?

Oooooh Amelia, Ooooh Amelia
Do you ever think of me, do you ever think of me?

Do you rise with the birds as they soar up above
Does it make your heart ache when you think of lost love?
Do you rise with the lark as she soars so high
Does the sound of birdsong, bring a tear to your eye?

Do you run with the Wolves as they howl in the night
Write poems like Lorca, all about the moonlight?
See the flames in the fire as they shimmer and leap
Does it make your heart ache, all the secrets you keep?

Oooooh Amelia, Oooooh Amelia
Do you ever think of me, do you ever think of me?

Do you ever think of me?
Do you ever think of me?
