Burton’s Song is for Autism. Written and performed by Errol Sammut, award-winning writer and front man of top Malta band Airport Impressions, “Burton’s Song” comes from a deeply personal place. Errol stepped out of the confines of Airport Impressions to write this song about his nephew, Burton, who has Asperger’s syndrome. A song for charity has no genre boundaries and Errol is proud to be giving 100% proceeds from “Burton’s Song” to Autism charities. Errol invites you to share this captivating new single with all your listeners and sincerely hopes that you will use the song to help advance the cause of Autism Awareness.

When asked about the song’s inspiration, Errol remarked, "… While I sat jamming away on an acoustic at my parent's apartment, Burton suddenly turned his attention entirely to me, something that had never happened before. He came slowly and started humming and also tried strumming the guitar as I played away. It was the birth of the hook that made the song and so I wrote the lyrics to signify a moment and named it Burton's song. It is his song completely …”

Errol premiered ‘Burton’s Song’ live in Malta on March 31st at The Marigold Foundation, Autism Speaks, and Autism Europe “Light it Up Blue” campaign in aid of the Association of Parents of Children with Autism. Errol’s objective is to share this song in the hope that it will raise awareness about autism and autism-spectrum conditions like Asperger’s syndrome, and provide a message of hope, courage, compassion and perseverance for those whose lives are affected, directly or indirectly, by autism.
