about

The melody for this song dates back to the mid nineties. Back then the lyric was all about the onward rush of a new love. Now a quarter of a century later after the end of a subsequent long and significant relationship, the lyrics have changed to reflect the new reality. The empty cinema setting and senior citizen screening are metaphors for new found loneliness and coming of age.
This is a very personal song that musically needed to reflect where I am at now. The laid back jazz influences and plaintiff cello perfectly fit the mood

lyrics

Silver morning all on my own
Watching a movie with the subtitles on
And I’ll drift away into a memory

Silver morning no-one to hold
Like we used to until the end credits rolled
So I’ll drift away into another day

Where did those sweet times go?
Where did those sweet times go?
Now there’s just me alone on a silver morning

Silver morning
No popcorn to share
The seats are all empty
So I’ll disappear
And I while away the hours in a lonely day

Those times together just disappeared
Sometimes I wonder where did they go?
Silver morning step out into the rain
And tomorrow I’ll be back here again
When I’ll drift away into a memory
