Love & Loss CD Details

Throughout our lives we all will have been touched by the powerful emotions of love, and at times the devastation of loss. Love can nurture our heart and soul, it is intangible, difficult to define and yet inspires our positivity, our hopefulness, our feelings of worth. It can fulfil our deepest needs, but also makes us vulnerable. 

As risking all for love can bring with it loss. There are many emotions of loss – anger, shock, denial, guilt, fear, betrayal. But as we seek to process these emotions there are also memories of better times – of laughter, and shared joy. Of simple pleasures and, of course, music. There are few earthly sensations can stir the soul like an evocative piece of music or a beautiful song.
In collating an album of songs that best represented what Ashgate can bring, the theme of love and loss immediately came to mind. Their kindness, expertise and empathy allows those in their care to have the moments to create better memories, to have the time and space to share love and even laughter.  Music has the means to transport us in time and also trigger powerful emotions. It can be transformative, changing our moods at the drop of a hat. I hope that there is something in my selection of songs that will bring back a memory for you.
