Usually when I start writing a guitar part, I immediately start hearing a melody and lyrics, but not so with this one. I wrote this little guitar part in probably 2012, and for some reason, I could never come up with something to sing to it. A couple years ago in 2022, I felt inspired to send it to my niece MARIE; (her artist name), and in less than 24 hours she sent this song back to me, lyrics and melody all written by her. It's about her mom, my sister Shelley, who passed to the next realm in 2016. We just got back from a family reunion where we asked my cousin, Rachel Harris Viramontes, to do this song with us for the family talent show. I had sent the song to her the night before at midnight, and this was our first run-through. It felt like gentle, precious magic, and I hope this will be the first of many. I LOVE YOU BOTH. Thank you for sharing your voices and hearts.
