"Gin With Alice" - Heartfelt Musical Tribute
In "Gin With Alice," the 10th track from my captivating solo album, GRAND BOULEVARD, I draw you into an emotional narrative born amidst the enchanting streets of Edinburgh, Scotland. The song's inception was sparked by a casual invitation from my friend's wife, Alice, who invited me to share a gin with her at 4:00. This simple yet profound moment gave birth to a poignant title that would weave through the fabric of this composition.

However, the song's lyrical journey takes an unexpected turn, as it delves into a complex and challenging theme. The "Alice" in my story becomes a symbol of tragic loss, as the lyrics reflect upon her heartbreaking decision to bid a sorrowful farewell. The concept of the "second-last goodbye" resonates deeply, evoking emotions that are as haunting as they are touching.

Elevating the song to its evocative peak is the resonant voice of Charles Iverson, whose vocal prowess adds a layer of profound depth. His performance transforms the lyrics into a poignant reflection on the fragility of life and the lingering echoes of bittersweet farewells.
Join me in experiencing the powerful emotional journey of "Gin With Alice," a track that defies expectations and resonates with the complexities of human emotions.
