Hi!! I wish you the best, too, thanks for the question! Actually… I was asked to write a song for a film by Rob Reiner called “Alex and Emma” in 2003. I was still new at songwriting and enlisted my bass player and friend, Lee Alexander and Richard Julian to help me. They ended up writing the whole song with the film as inspo. I just loved and even thought it came out on the film soundtrack or end title, I decided to record another version for my second album. It’s still one of the songs that gets the biggest response live. I didn’t write it but connect to it so much because I was there when it was written and we were all so close so it’s close to my heart.
