about

‘Willow Tree’ is a song that explores a near-death experience, after lead singer, Amy Whiter, contracted meningitis and was seriously ill and left fighting for life in hospital.

“This experience happened in 2011 and changed my outlook forever” says Amy Whiter, “Although obviously a very frightening experience, it left me with a renewed and profound sense of love for family and friends, and a greater appreciation for life.

The song is really an exploration of being in this strange place somewhere between life and death, and about coming to terms with the experience. The Willow Tree is for me a symbol of the bridge between life and death. Would I meet my loved ones in this life or the next?”.

With heartfelt vocals, soaring strings, and a driving rhythm, ‘Willow Tree’ pulls you in and entrances you

lyrics

As the sun turns to dust
There's a starry moonlit sky
Shining in the beauty
Of the soul in your eyes

Meet me by the willow tree
Meet me by the willow tree
Shimmering bright
Love is like a river
Love is like a river
And it flows into the night

Counting stars beside you
As we drift into a dream
Wish upon a star above
As you're lying next to me ah ah ah

When you're dancing in the dark
By the light of the moon
Feeling like the stars are falling down on you

Meet me by the willow tree
Meet me by the willow tree
Shimmering bright
Love is like a river
Love is like a river
And it flows into the night

Counting stars beside you
As we drift into a dream
Wish upon a star above
Wish upon a star above
As you're lying next to me

Meet me by the willow tree
Meet me by the willow tree
Shimmering bright
Love is like a river
Love is like a river
And it flows into the night

Counting stars beside you
As we drift into a dream
Wish upon a star above
Wish upon a star above
As you're lying next to me ah ah ah

Meet me by the willow tree
Meet me by the willow tree
Meet me by the willow tree
Meet me by the willow tree
Meet me by the willow tree
Meet me by the willow tree
Meet me by the willow tree
