I had the honour of listening to a collection of songs today.
All but two were written by our very own Alba. Of the other two, one was a beautiful poem written by Katlaughing and adapted to song & performed by Alba. "Waves of Sorrow" ... it haunts.
The song "Jacob" however, is another of Alba's which I couldn't stop listening to. Once in a rare while, I find such a song and play it over & over again. It takes me somewhere. A very private place. A spot that I am not likely to share with anyone let alone write about.
"Jacob" has the touch of a master in it. Alba's voice is reminiscent of Jeany Redpath's and my wife and I both enjoyed it immensely.
I'm the last to know, I suppose.
Thanks Alba.
