Full story song 'Train of Thought' which looks into how we process emotions. The animation pictures a girl in a futuristic simulator experiencing her own thoughts and emotions. She is monitored by the conductor and accompanied along the way by her trusty sidekick, Dopamine. Follow her journey as she battles snakelike problems and crushing emotional mind quakes.

This is part one of five, a story of mystery, intrigue and puzzle solving. The Queen of France has commisioned her maid with the important task of relaying a message - not through conventional means though.

All the words entirely my own! While out for a wonderful Italian meal with my husband, I wrote the words to this song in English. I created this song from the Italian translation. These are the words in English.

A Taste of Perfection

By Esther Gardiner

Have you ever

met anyone who

could make dough fly

so high it could

hit the ceiling

Who knows why

It misses every time

The joy

of practised hands

kneading

stretching

pulling

in and out

shaping

creating

translating

love into dough

All the ingredients

placed exactly at

the right time

the right balance

the right texture

composition

perfection

combined

I taste one bite

It’s love at first sight

the touch

the flavour

the smell

You know me so well

A slice of heaven

raised from leaven

raised to perfection

where joy lives and dwells

To describe

This as a work of art

It is passion

shaped

moulded

into desire

The wanting

the needing

until set alight

into the fire

Stretching

pulling

contorting

its body

shape

In and out

out and in

sliding

through

fingers

developing

The essence

regulated

into shapes

contours

lines

Running

through like

silken dough

till the texture

reaches

perfection

Till it is time

Time to rise

time to wait

the right

moment

anticipate

I taste one bite

It’s love at first sight

The touch

the flavour

the smell

You know me so well

A slice of heaven

raised from leaven

raised to perfection

where joy lives and dwells

Kneed again

kneed again

soft elastic

stretching

etching

through the skin

It’s ready

now the topping

jaw dropping

Red and yellow

dots

polka dots

touching

just the right

spot

Now into the oven

Sparking

next to

the bakers

dozen

the right heat

the right time

And then it comes

the aroma

the aroma of joy

permeating

every corner of

the room

Mouth watering

ready to

consume

I taste one bite

it’s love at first sight

The touch

the flavour

the smell

You know me so well

A slice of heaven

raised from leaven

raised to perfection

where joy lives and dwells

I taste one bite

It’s love at first sight

The touch

the flavour

the smell

You know me so well

A slice of heaven

raised from leaven

raised to perfection

where joy lives and dwells

This is a clip of a my original song, Meow. The inspiration for this song was the phrase, 'The cat on a hot tin roof.' A little girl loves her cat and they play together happily with a colourful ball. Listen to the full song on Spotify.

This song was inspired by a recent visit to Frankie's Fish and Chips, Brae, Shetland, the most northerly fish and chip shop in the UK. Interestingly they won an award for being the UK's No. 1 chip shop in 2015. Highly recommended!!!

Step into the wonderfully wonky world of Gobbledegook — a cheerful story song full of nonsense, imagination, and playful fantasy.

A little silly.

A little magical.

Completely gobbledegook.

When I wrote this song Gobbledegook, I was thinking about the artist Salvador Dali. I enjoyed looking at his work at the Figueres Dali Theatre-Museum many years ago. It reminded me that what may be considered nonsense to one person can be considered a work of genius by another. Dali’s work inspired many artists worldwide including me.

In my original song I celebrate Gobbledygook as being the inspiration behind many creative ideas.

Special, is a poem I wrote for my children years ago. I edited it and added a chorus, so I could turn it into a song. It describes some of the challenges of Autism, that the children have faced over the years. We are so proud of all the progress they have made.

Each of us is responsible for our part. Our world provides us with a home, food, clothing. We are all caretakers of our beautiful planet.

Deep in the Scottish Highlands, something stirs beneath the forest floor. The illusive tartan Haggis hides as the hunt begins.

The Highland Hunt is a cinematic musical story filled with mystery, movement, and wild atmosphere.

A journey through shadow, nature, and the unknown.

🎧 Listen, watch, and step into the hunt. Streaming on Spotify as part of the Time to Shine album @
