Currambena Primary and Preschool

“Through My Eyes” a song by Valerie Foley (mum of Billy in Fran’s)

“Through My Eyes”, sung by Thanh Bui, is a song about what it can feel like when you are autistic. I wrote the lyrics this year, inspired by the way our son Billy lives his life.
It’s been an amazing year for us, not least because Billy has found something at Currambena that we weren’t sure he would ever find – acceptance. It wouldn’t have occurred to me to write the lyrics of “Through My Eyes” before now, because we were too busy wondering how our little square peg would find any holes that were even remotely interesting to him. Autism, in our view at least, isn’t so much a disorder as a different way of seeing the world, and your relationship to it. That’s what “Through My Eyes” is about, and also, we have discovered, what Currambena is about!
Through My Eyes is available for download on iTunes Australia now (for $1.69), and all proceeds go to Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect).
It’s on YouTube too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HwDXoHnVxY

with love, Valerie
