Katherine Abbott Shares New Song “Lullaby for Lucas”
English singer-songwriter Katherine Abbott has released her brand new song “Lullaby for Lucas”. The song is one of her many stories, based on a man she met whilst traveling the Camino de Santiago in Spain.
Katherine Abbott explains, “Lucas was an opera singer in Vienna but had lost his voice and had taken to living a nomadic existence. We had a jam in a bar one night and he tried to sing but his voice just came out as this croak which brought him to tears.”
The track was produced by multi-instrumentalist and her friend, Jonathan Fletcher. She said, “It was inspired by one of those magic nights in a remote village bar where a group of people find themselves unified somehow by winding up in the same place at the same time on their journey; playing music and telling stories until the early hours. I think people can become the purest versions of themselves when they’re living in the moment, producing an honesty that can be hard to find when living within the rigid everyday pressures and structures of society.”
She added, "Writing Lullaby for Lucas was the first time that I felt a song expressed so honestly the way I feel about life and humanity as a whole - the song is an ode to forgiveness. I’ve always felt passionately about the topics it touches upon , listening to people and their stories without judgement and appreciating how everyone is striving through life’s difficulties; evolving and adapting against the odds. One’s circumstances can change in an instant.”- source : Flaunt Magazine
