We are so delighted to share this with
everyone. No one has worked harder on this recording and video than Kurt
has. Hard to keep it all straight with late-night brain storming
sessions, but I believe the concept for the video was his idea. And it
is beautifully done.
I had this reach-for-the-stars idea that I
could get Davy Spillane to play on this song. I started referring to the
solo section as "Davy's solo" and I sent an early version of the song
to him, explaining why I wrote it, and
asking him to please listen to it, and consider playing on it.
Understand that I have been a fan of his for something like 20 years.
When he wrote back and said "It is a fine song and I would be glad to
play on it" well, let me tell you, I could not have been happier.
Possibly the best moment of my professional musical life thus far. I
don't know how I kept from telling the world.
So here we are, done. I
hope you like it. Loss is a hard subject, and yet it is common to us
all. My sincere intention with this song was to convey the pain of a
loved one dying, and to bring the listener through a cathartic place.
A note about the video: We came by all of these shots honestly. They
are friends. No models holding stock photos. To those who shared your
time, photos of your loved ones, and stories, thank you from the bottom
of my heart.
If you like the song, please share. It is also up on iTunes and Amazon for sale. We appreciate your support.
