Title: Introducing - A Kiss Before The Winter
Post by: Wicked Deeds on December 10, 2017, 05:46:02 PM
Hello,

My album "A Kiss Before The Winter" was delivered a few days ago.  I haven't got a clue how to make videos for you tube - seriously, I just wanted some still photographs of the album artwork to appear.  Instead, the images are zooming in and out.  Anyway, if anyone would like a sneak preview of the songs, then please click on the link provided.

thanks

Paul

The Album will be released on Monday 18th December.  It will be distributed digitally by CD Baby through a number of avenues.  Should anyone be interested in the album and prefer a CD, then please send a personal message and I will arrange delivery. 

thanks

Paul  :)

Thanks S.T.C.   Making the album took years and it was a real labour of love.  Good luck with the videos.  I really was bamboozled but completely agree with you a good video is a brilliant marketing tool.

This is an album to be proud of Paul - I just got around to having my first listen of many. Wonderful songwriting, a broad range of songs all tied together in your unique style and delivery. Some very moving songs on there too. I'm really glad you decided to make this record and send it out into the world. All we need now is a follow up.

I highly recommend this album, folks - grab it while it's hot!

I got mine too...

I really must say it’s a beautiful CD...it is very professionally done...the artwork is fantastic and most importantly, the songs are beautifully written and performed.

Hard to pick one, but I think my favourite has to be “still remains” - what a lovely song.

It’s a brilliant example of what can be achieved in songwriting.

I love it.

Hey chaps,

Thank you for the lovely comments. Tone did a fantastic job on the artwork.  The songs are all written from experience. I hope that this gives the album a strong emotional foundation.

Paul, "Still Remains" was written in the days after  my Dad's death. I was reflecting on his life as a fisherman  and the relationship that we never had. It's about scattering his ashes out at sea, saying goodbye to him in the funeral home, the dream  that I had of playing football with him only a few days after his death.  It's a deeply emotional song that moves me every time that I listen to it.  Preparing this song for the album has brought back so many thoughts and feelings.

Thank you sincerely for the compliment.  I am delighted that you are enjoying the album.

Paul

By the way, the album should be released tomorrow, providing a typing error has been corrected for the digital distribution.  :)
