Reflecting on the moments that we share with our loved ones, all the memories and thoughts about the future, but, most of all, on being 'in the now': living in the present, mindfully, breathing in all parts of it.

lyrics

We would walk this way
In the morning past the palace on the hill
The hill

You would hold my hand
In the sunlight by the palace on the hill
It always had the clearest view

You'd say
'Be still
And breathe it in, the light, the clouds, the breeze
Look to the trees'

It's my favourite place to go
When I feel alone
The palace on the hill
the hill

Now I watch the world go by
From my window and I start to wonder
Where will we go
When we get older
Will our feet remember all these roads

As we grow
Older
As we grow
Older

And breathe it in, the light, the clouds, the breeze
And hear the song in the trees
You heard it once before
This wistful hymn is calling still
'Come to the palace on the hill'

Where
Where will we go
When we get older
When we get older
Will your feet
Remember these roads
When we get old

And will you still feel the same thrill

When you see the view
That you once knew
The palace on the hill
The hill

about

Maria Grapsa London, UK

Piano song, improvisation & modern jazz writing are the means that Maria portrays her musical journey. As a classically trained, explorative jazz musician, she empowers her sextet to flow free form through original compositions; steam hard in tenor jazz and intricate, emotionally-charged cinematic ballads. Maria’s Greek roots and folk, middle-East, Latin influences, meet jazz in a unique way. ... more
