Making Memories by Merilyn Steele

This album and the songs it contains are reflections of the life journey I have been on these last few years.

Some are dark, heartbroken, angry and confused but there are also ones of hope, love, joy and humour which has thankfully prevailed.

There is even a song for dog lovers (My White Shadow) dedicated to my 12 year old pooch Gizmo for the joy he brings me.

There are songs of betrayal, grief and loss, including a fitting tribute to Glen Hannah who did my artwork on the Bring It back album.

There is also a fun, cheeky song to end with in my search for a new partner after the loss of my own after 26 years.

Four songs off this album were nominated as semi-finalists in the 2024 Tamworth Songwriters Assn awards;
'If I Could'
'Kinder (Be The Love)'
'Diamonds and Dust'
'Days Like This'

I hope you enjoy the changing colours of the songs and moods. Best have a tissue handy!
