Another track that introduced me personally to this instrumental composer of immense talent and a lasting friendship that encapsulates exactly why being a part of this community has consistently been a source of joy, encouragement, support and genuine humour that warms the heart. My first introduction to The Sanctity of Crows was a brilliantly produced film clip on YouTube which accompanied this particular song…and I’m so glad I happened to be introduced to one of the indie scene’s greats. So happy to see this legend collaborating with artists and getting his amazing music out there-inspiring us all with his outstanding talents (he’s even done a “no guitars, keys only” experimental album)-this guy is fearless, and it’s an honour for our global scene to have artists such as this in our community. As well as being the highly talented one man powerhouse of an artist-The Sanctity Of Crows is also a fantastically supportive warm and kindhearted human being-regularly doing his own “Stoned The Crows!” Multi-Platform playlists supporting others in the community and entertaining us all with his awesome sense of humour. “For Those Departed” (off his first album “Amidst the Gloom”) may be a short and very intriguing, brilliant piece of music-however it also holds a very special place in my own heart as the track that introduced me to an indie legend. Even if I did make a slight Freudian slip-but a very good one-I accidentally (it ended up ringing quite true in my eyes) put TSoC in the same league as a Mr Paul McCartney when I did a typo when referring to The Sanctity Of Crows second album(“Flowers Of The New Dawn”) as “Flowers In The Dirt”-A McCartney Solo album…but hey, didn’t Paul make one of the first “independent” albums with “McCartney” and elements of “RAM”? So technically I was right…a music legend releases an independent album or two…an indie legend releases his second independent album…well I stand by that assessment…😉😉😉
