If you don’t know Fiona, you should. She loved music for what it revealed, not how popular it was. She believed music could always be a way back, especially to the people we love.

Music isn’t just sound.
It keeps the time of who we were when it met us.
You don’t have to be “musical” to belong to it.
Some songs just walk with you. 🎶
