      <title>A Sign of Peace</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Listening to Toni Braxton, this morning. Sometimes, sad songs that deal with loss, etc., are so much more beautiful than many other songs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tonight, my beloved football (soccer) team is playing its first match of its season. Come on, you Blues :) . Trouble is, kick-off is at 8 p.m., so the match will finish at 10 p.m - and I&amp;rsquo;ve got an early start, tomorrow morning. Argh.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since I&amp;rsquo;m in such a reflective mood, this morning, I thought I&amp;rsquo;d share with you a song I wrote many years ago, and remixed in 2025. It&amp;rsquo;s called &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://esperpleno.bandcamp.com/track/a-sign-of-peace-10&#34;&gt;A Sign Of Peace&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Splendid day here in London &amp;hellip; so trying to listen to my doctor and do some walking in my local park 🌳 . The effort is much mitigated by having my headphones on and listening to music as I walk &amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Feeling happy 🎶&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Well, Ray Gelato made me smile. And that &amp;ldquo;Fever&amp;rdquo; duet between Kelly Rowland and the one and only Sir Tom Jones &amp;hellip; THAT gave me chills. #TheVoiceUK&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Getting ready to watch The Voice UK. Am exhausted, so not sure if I&amp;rsquo;ll make it to the end &amp;hellip; but I&amp;rsquo;ll give it a go :) Let&amp;rsquo;s see who, if anyone, wows me. Whose voice would I want to write for?&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s the weekend - yay! Getting some food delivered, soon &amp;hellip; one ear on the doorbell 🔔😀&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love to wake up and listen to music, in the morning &amp;hellip; today, music from Toto Cutugno and Harry Nilsson 🎶 . It helps to set the mood &amp;hellip; 😀&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Fish, for dinner. Had an interesting doctor&amp;rsquo;s appointment, today, the summary of which is simply this: must eat healthily and exercise more. Argh.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Creativity has been rather stagnant, of late. Ever since I started writing songs (back in 2018), I&amp;rsquo;ve written a number of songs per year, and now have about 40 published songs to my name. This year, however, it&amp;rsquo;s not been as prolific &amp;hellip; though I&amp;rsquo;m personally proud of every single song I have actually written.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the songs I have written this year has been &amp;ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;In My Heart&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;rdquo; (the first song in the eponymous album, &amp;ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://esperpleno.bandcamp.com/album/in-my-heart&#34;&gt;In My Heart&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;quot;). I personally think it&amp;rsquo;s one of the most beautiful songs I have ever written &amp;hellip; a song that pulls no punches. Listen for yourselves, below.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please, please, if you enjoy my music, remember to &lt;a href=&#34;https://esperpleno.bandcamp.com&#34;&gt;buy some of it&lt;/a&gt; from time to time. It&amp;rsquo;s what enables me to keep creating more. Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, please, remember to &lt;a href=&#34;https://esperpleno.micro.blog/subscribe/&#34;&gt;Subscribe&lt;/a&gt; to this blog, if you wish to! Thank you.&lt;/p&gt;
