The Official Website For Auriol Hays
I forgot that I covered this Ben Harper song more than 8 years ago. Of course there is a story attached to it. I was asked to sing at a Women’s Month event a few years after my divorce. Only after singing this song I realised that I was singing to a bunch of women […]
Silence isn’t golden as the song says. It never is. This coming from a musician who only by composing and performing music learnt how to speak… Tonight’s conversation with my Mother left me feeling highly disturbed. She recalled an incident where I was under one year of age, faked sleep and cried with joy when […]
I liked his last video entitled Secrets of a Scorpio as it was hella funny. I am posting this video because it applies to all my relationships – friendship, family or otherwise.

I thought I would share some rather candid thoughts. This after a great conversation with a good friend while I was cooking and baking. Having good people around makes the biggest difference. Ps, it was storming outside while I sat in the car, so excuse the bits of noise you might hear.

It’s funny how children’s perspective change over time. Once my daughter thought I was the most mysterious person ever. And now that she is so dialled in she calls Ms Scissorordy Scissors. The hard lessons I had to learn was this: boundaries and discernment. I cut people out of my life real quick and sometimes, […]
Music is a spell. I keep saying this to my friends. Words powered by emotions and harmonic frequencies can create and invoke all kinds of wonderful or not so wonderful things. When I am deeply in love with someone or care for them I never send music – I write it instead. Just safer. So […]
