A musical journey citing personal, and cultural phenomena looking back and saying goodbye to the dead souls, the forgotten dreams and past values that have been lost in the last twelve years.
Friends, lovers, places, ideas, objects and technology; everyday life and the twists and turns of relationships within our secular society are presented..
