Mary's Song - Daisy Chute
MARY'S SONG from the EP ‘CRADLE SONGS’ by Daisy Chute "Burns Night is a tradition I hold dear, especially as a displaced Scot in London. But every year we gather and recite the same poetry and songs, and I've often wondered about all the Scottish poetry that gets left unread, especially from the female perspective. I wanted to unearth some lesser known poetry so Cradle Songs are settings of the poems I discovered and connected with on my hunt. The poems are about mourning (Mary Queen of Scots's Melancholy Air), unrequited love (Marion Angus's Mary's Song), and motherhood (Carolina Oliphant's Cradle Song), and span from the 16th to the 20th Century." ‘Cradle Songs’ featuring 'Mary's Song' released 28 January 2022.

no puedo salir /DAVED KIDNEYSDaved kidneys I am a young man who from his birth lived a great opportunity of life that really had no hope. A disease that destroyed me and today I feel very good thanks to God for part of my life to share with you that if there are people with the same situation of a kidney disease and that nowadays they live connected in a dialysis machine They are my support because I also lived it and I know it is hard. So in this opportunity these videos that I do are very significant and I will continue to improve a lot that this is not easy and nothing is easy in this world. That's why the last three videos on the piano are phrases that he always said when going to a hospital because I'm tired of always seeing the same thing and taking daily medications that help me protect the transplanted kidney. For this opportunity I would very much like to show them to you and that my songs really reach each one of you in my heart and transmit who I am and why I do this
