Paul Bester – Clouds

Clouds is a song I wrote from the experience of losing my mother in 2013, I was an only child with a single parent and was devastated by her passing. The song lyrics are compiled from conversations we had during her last days and also the expression of so many things I wish I could have said to her. I wrote the song back in 2017 but was compelled to record the song and have it produced due to COVID-19. There are thousands of people who have lost a loved one due to the pandemic and I wanted to make a piece of music for people to relate to and to give a sincere expression of grief. The song has a nostalgic feeling, with a dramatic and uplifting bridge. It was recorded with the Moscow Black Tie Orchestra and the Voices of the Vox Chamber Choir from Pretoria South Africa. The song was proudly produced and written here in Dubai and it took a total of 64 people to make this single come together.
