about

This is the song I wrote for the Childless festival that I spoke at in September 2023. We were discussing concepts of legacy, what a person leaves behind, and my fellow panellist and author Robert Nurden suggested I write a song on the subject, so this is it.

lyrics

Your wallet, watch and mobile phone
All things you left behind at home
This morning

Your umbrella and house keys,
A scent, a sense, some memories
Your calling

Some words, some notes, some DNA
Are gone tomorrow but you are here today

And all you have is all you need
And all you leave behind are memories

Some sketching of forgotten verse,
The heat death of the universe
Behind you

The thoughts and prayers of one who cares
The voice that comes from up the stairs
Will find you

And all you have is all you need
And all you leave behind are memories

You cannot take it with you
And like all who've gone before you
You will make of it what you will
And your legacy is still forgotten dreams

The things we make are not to be
This life is temporary
And your legacy is all just memories

All you leave behind are memories
