Since the summer, each My Darling Clementine show has likely been a poignant and moving experience. Yet from the darkness of despair, music has the power to light up the road to better times.
Over the last eleven years, these pages have been filled with many reflections and accounts from the My Darling Clementine music experience, both live and on record. In a case of art inspiring art, the Kitchen Garden Christmas 2024 show is captured in a few stanzas of self-penned verse extolling the worth of music.
Seeking strength in the song
Grappling grief with the guitar
Honing in on the healing highway
Hour by hour
Each note piecing together a shattered mind
Each lyric sowing the seeds of recovery
Each beat showing the resilience of time
Day by day
Tracks signalling a brighter place
Grooves etching a road to reality
Words working wonders
Week by week
The sanctuary of a musical harbour
Tuneful, melodic, cathartic
A broken soul soothed
Bring on 2025 and more My Darling Clementine.
