Mike Collins, a drummer and songwriter from Portland, leads the creative studio project “Rooftop Screamers”, which has released a new song named “Souvenirs”. The track features guitarist and singer Randy McStine from legendary British band Porcupine Tree and is tragically a tribute to Collins’s dead grandmother. The song begins with a powerful emotional opening to capture the listeners’ attention. The combination of McStine’s emotive vocals and Collins’s passionate lyrics makes the song catchy and highly emotional.
The song features lyrics that describe losing a loved one, especially the cherished moments. For instance, the line, a testament to her memory and legacy, provides a comprehensive understanding of the song, appealing to all listeners as it evokes the memories of a loved one who passed away. Mark Plati, who has worked with icons including David Bowie and Prince, has done an excellent job producing the song. The song credits Plati with the bass, guitar, and keyboards, contributing to its unique texture. Daphne Ange filmed the music video at TCOMAS Studio, where high-quality graphics and AI elements enhanced the song, transforming “Souvenirs” into a multi-artistic piece.
“Souvenirs” is a fresh break from recent frantic songs; however, it confirms Collins’s ability to produce music that is raw and full of emotion. Randy McStine performed this song, and his and Mark Plati’s contributions made it rich and emotional.
