I felt compelled - perhaps pulled - to write Can You Hear Me following and in response to the hideous violence that took place in Orlando a few months ago - the nightclub shooting that took the lives of 49 young people and injured 53. The elements and mood of this song should reflect a twofold intention - to honor the victims by putting forth an effort in capturing what must have been sheer disbelief and unimaginable horror - while at the same time offering a healing component - wanting to believe that the victims experienced a feeling of being comforted and lifted above the chaos and hate by a higher power - a voice of acceptance and love - in their final moments. I hope so. I mean - Who among us can say with certainty what happens in the final seconds of life?
Once again I think Jan did a wonderful job capturing my intent for this song in his final production. Interestingly, during the August 29th episode of Taxi TV Peter Petro from Cre8 Music Academy provided clarification on the definition of a producer. He said, “a producer is someone who can take ideas in someone’s head and make them come out of a pair of speakers.” Peter’s definition - within the context and parameters of our collaborative process - rings true for us. On a creative level - regardless of genre and style - it’s a pleasure to present song ideas and lyrics to Jan - he gets it.
Thank you for listening!
