SMILE FOREVER
OUT NOW
‘Kindness isn’t Death it’s life
I’ll be there when you’re scared, I’ll be by your side
I’ll be your guiding light in the night’
Cross Crew Mania with Scott Nicol at Crosshill Primary
I had the privilege of writing and recording an original song with the amazing pupils from Crosshill Primary School, Ayrshire, early 2022.
I want to thank the brilliant Ian Matchet for his expertise in setting up, recording and mixing the track. The head teacher, Mrs Devlin, even sang (wonderfully) on the recording and Mrs Pringle and Miss Jess really added to the lyrics of the song.
We tried to write incorporating the school’s values and the pupils were so engaged right from the start. The ideas flowed and we quickly had the song that became ‘Smile Forever’. This is a song with optimism and sunshine… perfect for Summer. I love the message of the track, to be an encouragement to someone and lift them up. One line of The lyrics says ‘I’ll be your biggest cheerleader’.
The pupils sang together as a choir. We got a few soloists too and some pupils even recorded percussion on the track. I must say I loved the experience, they were very creative and even designed the artwork.
The track is now available for download on all good platforms. We are excited about radio play and launching the song and ‘The Video’ too! Stay tuned… watch this space!
