Garden of Remembrance

I wish I weren’t such a technological doofus- - I would provide a link.  Google “Fish: Garden of Remembrance” official video on YouTube.  A sad, but sweet song about dementia, written and performed by “Fish”,  a Scottish singer- songwriter.  The 19 minute video about the making of the song is moving as well.

    Thanks, June!  I love music, but am not very knowledgeable or sophisticated.  I had never heard of Fish or his music, but I really loved the song.  The story behind the video fascinated me as well; the several touches (the forget-me-nots and the glass dividing wall) were so intriguing.  Thank you for the link; one of these days I’ll figure it out.  Happy New Year.

    I too enjoy music. My husband still loves to listen to all genre of music.  I had never heard of Fish either and that's a neat song you found!

     I have to admit I have never heard of Fish either, but the story, and I too loved the dividing glass!

    I think we all agree that we are not looking for the new year the same way others are. But for all of us here, I wish you multiple breaks in the glass wall that divides us. If you don't know what I'm talking about.......... https://www.alzconnected.org/discussion.aspx?g=posts&t=2147559338  Thanks again to Beachfan.
