Description
Here’s the video for a song close to my heart , ‘Autumn Reigns ‘
inspired by the tragic loss of my brother, Daniel,in late 2021. As I write this today it would have been his 52nd birthday .
Its lyrics deal with loss, grief and the passage of time,trying to make sense of life after tragedy..something we all go through at some point our lives . Written as if by the person who’s gone ..A sad subject but I hope the songs uplifting.That’s how I’d like it to be heard.
It was an honour to have Charlie Starr of BlackBerry Smoke with us on the song, his vocal performance was amazing and it was fun filming the vid outside by the famous ‘Hard Days Night’ staircase at Hammersmith Odeon. Thanks Charlie 🙏
Thanks to Chip Z’Nuff on bass and many thanks to Alan Clayton of The Dirty Strangers for the loan of Keith Richards Gibson Hummingbird, one of the acoustics that you’ll see me playing in the video, it’s the guitar he wrote and recorded Wild Horses on and that was gifted to him by Gram Parsons. It’s also all over ‘Exile on Main Street’.
It’s fitting that it’s in the video for this tune as my brother was a good friend of Alan’s and also a huge Stones fan (especially Keef!) Some of my fondest memories are from Stones shows we attended together.
This one’s for you Dan,
We all miss you x
