The Vampire Kings of New Orleans - Shadows of Remembrance (Cajun Viking Records)

Based on some very old lyrics I wrote many, many years ago about a man slowly losing his memories (and his life) to Alzheimer’s. Dedicated to my stepdad, who was the only father I knew. He was a great singer/pianist/songwriter. Sadly, we watched him fade away, because of this horrible disease. I miss him every day. Love you, Dad.

Lyrics [Intro] [Verse 1] Lying here in dark silence Mind as blank as the wall What it is, I can’t remember What it is, I can’t recall [Pre-Chorus] Looking at old photographs Faded prints of yesterday Strangers now, looking back at me With nothing left to say [Chorus] Frustration’s all I feel A nightmare, becoming real Did I have a life before? Or do I have a life anymore? [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Old friends come to say hello Strangers with the kindest hearts I try so hard to speak their names Feels like we are worlds apart [Chorus] Frustration’s all I feel A nightmare, becoming real Did I have a life before? Or do I have a life anymore? [End]
