The Official Website For Auriol Hays
Bits and bobs – nonsense thoughts jotted in my notebook. Some may become songs…or not. ** There’s only one key ingredient needed to write music. Memories – it all comes back to memories. Before I sing I silently wait and breathe as they lock themselves back into my skin. Memories that, like you, adventure freely […]
Every now and then I have to remind myself about a few things. I do this through the conversations I have with my daughter, other friends and by writing music. Here are a few things I try my best to remember: Never spend time with someone who makes you feel like you are […]

This blog post deals with music, money, men…and the unfortunate mantra I silently repeat as I compose music, walk into a room and lounge in the arms of a delicious man. So let me give it to you straight. I am not the kind of person who walks into any space and with my […]
Again, just sharing some bits and bobs from the book I wrote. Some say it is a bit too…what’s the word…esoteric, vague in places. But I will share nevertheless. And yes, I do on occasion share these thoughts with my daughter. I do not know if the kid pays attention though! ** […]
