Kim Edgar - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

2020 has been a tough year for most of us. Looking back, it's impossible to overlook the grief, loss and hardship of the past year. However, I'm also profoundly aware of, and grateful for, the warmth, generosity and support that people have shown to me, to each other, and to those in need. It seems apt to share this song of encouragement, which Karine Polwart and I wrote many years ago, today. In 2021, I'm going to pay attention to these lyrics, and resolve to accept help, keep my head up, although I'm scared, and play the game... I'm also going to try to brighten other people's days, like those who generously gave their time, talent, warmth and energy to help make this cheery video, and those who supported me by attending my online album launch have brightened mine. From my home, and my heart, to yours: I'm sending every good wish for better days to come in 2021.
