Why is Petals In The Wind special to you?
Sometimes, however much we want something, and however hard we are prepared to work for it, it’s still not enough. I like the change of mood half way through the song….
What do you love the most about the finished song?
I like sharing this song; it’s for all those people who have fallen deeply in love….and then found, for whatever reason, the relationship didn’t last…..
What was the inspiration to write Petals In The Wind?
One of the most powerful love stories.
Who did you write the song with and why?
I wrote the song and finished it off in Copenhagen; it is probably one of my most precious songs. Richard Knight and I worked together on the piano arrangement, and Robert Emery completed a brilliant orchestration inspired by Richard’s accompaniment.
My name is Jamie Lonsdale, and I'm a singer/songwriter.
Music for me as a child was always my hobby; and now it has become my passion and a big part of my life. I started my career in the Royal Navy - it didn’t even cross my mind that one day I would record an album. My first song came to me five years ago, and luckily for me, they keep on coming…
I try and enjoy my life to the full. I’ve been touched by joy, blessings, and at rare moments, tragic loss; music has supported me throughout all of this. All these experiences have triggered deep emotions, and this I feel has empowered my songwriting.
