"Within a few weeks, several musicians including Brian Wilson, Gary Moore, Steve Winwood, Bill Wyman, Cliff Richard, Chicago, America, Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb and Boy George, collaborated from different continents to produce this fund-raising single. With a slight tropical lilt and a slow paced interplay of vocals, this song will have you near tears. The additonal choral and vocal versions are no less powerful.

I HAD TEARS IMMEDIATELY.

"THIS SONG IS SO MOVING AND TOUCHING. THE BEAUTY OF ALL THE VOICES, ESPECIALLY BARRY AND ROBIN GIBB. YOU CAN'T HOLD BACK THE TEARS."

Aid for tsunami relief

"I bought this album from AmazonUK as soon as it was released, after having heard the title track online.



It didn't surprise me to hear Barry & Robin Gibb lend their voices to the project, as they have long been involve with many charity functions throughout their career. Other musicians lending their time and voices include Boy George, Sir Cliff and Brian Wilson.



The album has 3 tracks, with different variations of the "Grief Never Grows Old" song. The first is the one that I had heard online the day of the album's release - the voices blend throughout the melody to give a message of hope through loss.



The second version is entirely instrumental and shows the depth of emotion by the very tune itself.



The 3rd and final cut is a chorale version, which is quite good also.



The proceeds of the album are being donated to assist those who lost their homes, possessions and families as a result of the tsunami that struck along the Indian Ocean during the holiday season.
