A Song For Dad

Call it co-incidence or fake but the trip to the studio was pretty awesome. For my fifth album that I had been working on, I have been able to work with those who's been special to me. My best friend, KP, my brotherlike friend, MT, my cousin's husband, KC, and UAD, this dude who's been my arrangement guy since my first album. Today was the day that I worked with him for a track I wrote for my dad, who died like eleven years ago. UAD played the piano solo to this ballad. Not to forget the song I wrote for Craig, the song I got inspired to write cos of Mirpoo and a song about gay relationships, the name of the album 'Biography' does say it all.

It was really cool working with UAD again. I felt like I was thirteen again since that was the age when I worked with him first. After everything, I asked him how much would I need to pay. He didn't charge me anything for the whole studio session. And another cool thing also happened. I wasn't aware of tomorrow being the father's day but the engineer, who's Christian, asked me what this song was for. So, I told him it was for my dead dad to put it in the album. He, then, reminded me of father's day and I was like 'woh yaeh u're right'. Then, he asked if this song could be performed at his church tomorrow. I asked him if I need to be there. He said it would be better. I told him not to go through my management and that I will sing this song at his church tomorrow probono. Give and take. UAD did me charity, they why the fuck would I not? :D

It's crazy yet it's awesome. I'm gonna be performing a song I wrote for dad at a church on Father's day 2010..
