The Official Website For Auriol Hays
The festive season is not an easy one. For some it is an open invitation to eat, drink, be merry and spend money they don’t have. For others it is a solemn time of year, but for those who have Alzheimer’s sufferers in their family, it is a time of the year that causes sadness […]
There are a few items you will always find on my bed. Notebooks, books I am reading (currently there are six) and pens. I am a compulsive note taker. I have stopped people in mid-sentence and asked them to ‘stop talking and hold that thought please’ so I can jot down the words in my […]
This is a little Femme Fetale song called Lady Luck. Can you see it? I am dressed in a bitching gown….strutting around in a casino with my cigaro and whiskey dishing out warnings to silly men! HAHA. It was written years ago with Andre Scheepers. This needs to be re-worked but I still dig the energy […]
Love is hard, I rediscovered. And I do not mean it in a haha funny kinda way. It is a challenge allowing another to love you with all your flaws and ugly bits. So many epiphanies struck me over the last few weeks. No matter how well adjusted an individual is remnants of who they […]
Silly notes from my notebook. I also decided to share a little something-something from the book I have written. In this instance I am using Gilda as my Muse. I often watch her and make notes as she speaks. She is the founder of TLC Alzheimer’s Homes and also my adopted Granny G. An all […]
When having a full blown existential crisis the only thing I want to do is shout FUCK!! And maybe bash my head and fists in some wall. It’s so boring facing the same questions, your own insecurities and having no choice but to stare down the fears that roar or become consumed by them. Ever […]
Small little nothings jotted in my notebooks. I am always writing and sometimes the words or phrases written down find their way into my music. ** I know the shape of my lover’s ears, the curl of his lips, the feel of his skin and his many faces. First he came to me as a […]
As far as I can tell – every piece of music was a snap shot of my life. A sneak peak, experiences condensed and set to music. Sometimes too revealing or more so by what was absent. My existential crisis gave me a great deal to think about. Why and how did I create meaning […]
My name is Auriol Hays and on the 3nd of September I joined the ranks of archaeologists, adventurers, fortune hunters, scientists, religious leaders, gamblers and the odd ufologist hoping to catch a glimpse of Her. They say she dazzled the world 24 years ago, her beauty so ephemeral that her plumage blinded even the sun. […]
‘What is your unfinished business?’ Gilda asked me a few days ago. We were discussing Alzheimer’s and the dying process. Needless to say her question haunted me. My darling old people are always contemplating that question whether they are aware of it or not. But can you imagine if we asked ourselves that question and […]
