Description
How does music make you feel? What is your favourite song? And what can it inspire you to do?
A father and son embark on a journey across the city. But, as they get on the train and plug in the music, do they really know where they will end up? Where will the music take them?
Hop on board and take a musical ride through the city and into outer space, via the beach, a protest, and the parlour of an elderly couple with their grand piano.
About a Song invites readers on an imaginative voyage sparked by the power of music, urging them to consider the emotional impact and inspirational potential of their favourite melodies.
