A lovely write up, too.
"While this may be wordless, it’s all the stronger for it, some things can’t be said in words and are best left to the power of music to convey them, Douglas MacGregor achieves that to great depth here."
Video Premiere: Today marks the release of Douglas MacGregor’s new album Songs of Loss and Healing. Watch ‘Grasping the Wind’, about reconnecting through music to a lost past. folkradio.co.uk/2020/05/vide…

Lost my mother at 7. I wondered with suppressed grief one step removed from life for 25 years.
When grief hit, music was my way to feel, to process and to heal.

The music is "emotional communication - the conversation was initially between his wounded psyche and an instrument, but it is now with the listener's own experience."

"Music became my place to grieve. It allowed me to define the amorphous raw feelings I was yet to find words for. It gave them full expression, let me work through them."
@dugmacgregor talks of hope and healing through music after his mother's death.
