A Message from Salvador Dali to You

Once upon a time, I wrote a musical for the London stage.

Dali: The Musical told the story of artist Salvador Dali in three acts. It was, I must admit, one of the coolest projects I have ever worked on.

I didn’t write this musical alone. And though our play got close to being staged, it never actually was.

However, I wanted to share one of the songs from the musical. I wanted to share it because I wrote this song for you.

I wrote it for all artists.

Love him or hate him, there is no doubt that Salvador Dali left his mark on the history of art. I wondered what Dali would think of his legacy now? If he were to jump into the present-moment what advice would he give to other artists?

If Salvador Dali could speak, what would he say?

As I asked the questions, the words started to come. And this is the song I wrote as a message from the late great Salvador Dali to you.

I hope that you listen.
