Every story has a character who says the things everyone else keeps hidden.
In If She Knew, Robert quietly reveals the love he has never found the courage to speak aloud. Set against the backdrop of 1939 Oswaldtwistle, the song captures the hopes, doubts and quiet longing of a generation whose lives would soon be changed forever.
As the opening song of the Mind The Trams Songbook, If She Knew introduces listeners to the emotional heart of the story. Before war arrives, before lives are changed, Robert simply wonders what might happen if Doris ever knew how deeply she was loved.
The song reflects the gentle storytelling that runs throughout both the novel and the Songbook, where ordinary Lancashire people become unforgettable through their kindness, humour and humanity.
Written by Accrington author and songwriter Gabriel Undici, If She Knew forms part of a collection of twenty original songs inspired by the novel Mind The Trams, a developing British musical celebrating the communities, friendships and sacrifices of wartime Lancashire.
Whether you’ve already read the novel or are discovering the music first, If She Knew offers the perfect introduction to the world of Mind The Trams.
