POSTCARD TWO
Somewhere in the Scottish Highlands
From the Roads That Changed Everything
Dear Friend,
Every road through Scotland has taught me something different. Some led across mountains, others through quiet glens, but all of them became part of the person I am today.
This song is one of those memories.
THIS IS MY LIFE
Inspired by a life lived on the trail.
ABOUT THE SONG
Some people measure life in years. Others measure it in journeys.
This Is My Life is a reflection on choosing experiences over possessions and memories over destinations. Inspired by years of hiking through the Scottish Highlands, the song celebrates a life shaped by mountains, long trails, changing weather and the freedom that only nature can offer.
Every step through Scotland became another chapter of a much larger story. Together, those journeys inspired not only photographs but also the songs that would eventually become Scotland – A Love Letter: Fourteen Postcards from the Highlands.
This song is a reminder that sometimes the richest life is the simplest one.
SONGWRITER'S NOTE
There was never a single moment when I decided that travelling through Scotland would become part of my life. It happened one journey at a time.
Every hike brought another sunrise, another mountain, another conversation and another memory worth keeping. Somewhere along the way, I realised these journeys had become much more than holidays. They had become part of who I am.
This Is My Life is my way of saying thank you for every mile walked, every mountain climbed and every unforgettable moment Scotland has given me.
Lyrics:
Everyone finds a place someday
Where their heart just wants to stay
You don’t search, you don’t know why
You just feel it deep inside
You don’t know what you’re missing yet
Just a shadow you can’t forget
Something calling, soft and low
But you don’t know where to go
Then it hits you out of the blue
Every sense wakes up in you
Here’s where I belong
This is my life
Right where my heart feels strong
This is my life
Everything just feels so right
Like a fire burning bright
I don’t need to ask me why
This is my life
This is my love, this is Scotland, my home
It surrounds you like a song
Like you’ve known it all along
Wraps you up, won’t let you fall
Like you finally have it all
And you don’t need words to say
You just know you wanna stay
Here’s where I belong
This is my life
Right where my heart feels strong
This is my life
Everything just feels so right
Like a fire burning bright
I don’t need to ask me why
This is my life
This is my love, this is Scotland, my home
I’ve been lost, I’ve been alone
Trying hard to find a home
Now I see it crystal clear
I was always meant to be here
Here’s where I belong
This is my life
I ain’t ever moving on
This is my life
Everything is how it should be
Right here is where I’m free
Now I finally see the light
This is my life
This is my love, this is Scotland, my home
