Watch the official video for the track “If We Could” feat. Eva Sakellari through the YouTube player below:
According to Darrel Treece-Birch for “If We Could”: “I’ve had the tune for this song for several years. It was written on acoustic guitar in an open E tuning. So whenever I returned to that tuning I would start playing this. The lyric happened very quickly beginning with the chorus, which poses the question most of us often think about eg What If? But it’s those choices we make that turn us into the people we are. Having that reflection on those choices, good and bad, hopefully make us better people going forward. Why waste energy pondering over what we would go back and do differently. Simply learn, grow and move on.”
“Choices,” as a concept album, is about situations and about decisions we take or never make. It’s about questions and mysteries, our hopes and fears.
