Time Into Space

I have always imagined that as a musician or a band, making the first album was somewhat easy to do, as you can draw upon a lifetime of ideas and experiences when making the album. Just as I have always imagined the second album is a bit more difficult, because you don’t have a lifetime

The description for this show states that it is about how music triggers memories and helps us to make emotional connections.
