Music for Our Grief
Music often calms the body and mind. Whether it be the lyrics that bring back memories of our loved one or the melodies to soothe our grief, we can use music to create spaces to navigate our grief.
Music replays the past memories, awakens our forgotten worlds and makes our minds travel.
– Michael Bassey Johnson, Author

Summer Holiday
My mum loves to listen Cliff Richard songs. She would sing some songs as I played the CD. Listening to Cliff Richard songs will always remind me of my mum and her love for music.

我和妈妈都喜欢的一首歌
六岁那年,妈妈用手机在听歌，我就问她这首歌的歌名，她告诉我歌名也和我分享这是她喜欢的一首歌。八岁那年，我有了自己的iPad,就自己找这首歌来听。现在听到这首歌，我就会想起妈妈。我心里感到很复杂，不懂要和妈妈说什么好。

月亮代表祖母的爱
我的祖母杨美娘（Yeo Bee Neo)最喜欢这首“月亮代表我的心”。她曾经告诉我，只遗憾天上的月亮无法摘下， 若能，她会取下来送给我。 歌代表着她对我无尽的爱。

Back in the 90s, when I was in primary school, I fondly remember singing karaoke together with my father. He was a good singer and we will sing English songs. Back then, we played

When we were dating, you always sang this song to me. Now that you are gone, I am singing this to you everyday.
