David Baron and Donna Lewis - Stones In The River Bed
with a 40 piece orchestra
Written in lockdown by Donna Lewis about missing her family in Wales, composed by David Baron
"Feeling isolated but also fortunate to still be able to work from home, it felt good to get lost in the music. David and I were both writing and recording in our own studios and decided to create something beautiful together that we could share with everyone going through these difficult times.
Feeling lucky to be living in the countryside appreciating nature even more helped me shut out the sadness that was happening all over the world even if it was just for a few minutes at a time.
The heart of the song is all about missing my loved ones that are on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. I remember my mother’s words — full of kindness, always hopeful — memories of crossing the beautiful Ogmore river in Wales. Even though I can’t be with my family and hug them, I feel blessed that I can see them and talk to them every day and to know that they’re safe.
I hope this song brings comfort and courage to everyone who is separated from the families they love”. Donna Lewis 2020
