TWO STARS FELL — Heart Trumps — Scarlett Sky

TWO STARS FELL — Scarlett Sky

A love song about Nelson, Emma, and the rather inconvenient problem of history arriving before romance was finished.

Above the Bay of Naples, an admiral and a married woman fell for each other with very little interest in behaving sensibly. For a while, the world was small enough to contain only them.

Then came Trafalgar.

Two Stars Fell follows Horatio Nelson and Emma Hamilton from the brilliance of their affair to the part history usually handles less romantically: Nelson became a monument, while Emma was left with his memory, his debts, and very little help from the country that preserved his name.

Tender, dramatic, and slightly merciless about the difference between being remembered by a nation and being left behind by the man it remembers.

From the album Heart Trumps — Scarlett Sky.

For: impossible romances, historical love stories, late-night listening, and anyone who has ever discovered that great love does not necessarily come with a practical ending.
