Instrumental arrangement and piano by Amanda Tiffin, violin by Farida Bacharova
and flute by Bridget Rennie-Salonen.

I have been wanting to do this for a long time and finally got to work with another very talented friend and artist Tracy Brown. Tracy is an experience consultant, essayist and artist. You can check out more of her amazing work at tracylouisebrown.com.

I wrote this song after the loss of a very special patient. It is written from the perceptive of a child recalling the ‘storybook’ of their lives.

It is dedicated to all parents who have lost a child to cancer.

Your Light was originally written in 1994 for Candlelight Memorial Day in commemoration of all those who were living with HIV and who had died during the AIDS pandemic.

This version, a re-write of the original song, draws the connection between our reliving and retelling of that time and the time of COVID.
