SHE IS SO INCREDIBLE!! I just want her to know how much I love and adore her, everything I do Mum I do for you!! You have been the most outstanding role model anyone could ever have in their whole life and I just can't put into words how much I LOVE YOU!! and to my Brother Brendan, I LOVE YOU ALWAYS xx Approximately one month ago, when I posted 'Hero' on YouTube I was contacted by a very special guy named JAMIE. Jamie mailed me with such an overwhelming message full of compliments and said that he would love to write a song for me. My Mum, had been contacted by many songwriters at this stage and she was working her way through them all and she decided, for some reason, to put Jamie's email at the top of the pile. We both sat together and listened to some of the songs that Jamie had sent us in order to give us an idea of his music. As soon as we played Jamie's songs my Mum and I were instantly taken back by the beauty of his songwritting. My Mum's exact words were ''This is the man for you!''. As Mum makes all decisions about songwriting I remember thinking to myself, this is amazing and I am so glad that at last there was something that Mum thought was right for my voice and it was this!! From then till now has been an unforgettable and emotional journey that neither of us will ever forget!!! There was a very particular emotional stage of this process with Jamie when he was writing this song and that was when the lyrics were discussed. Immediately both of us felt such a strong sense of meaning and relevance because of the loss of my Father. This song held everything that I ever wanted to say to him and the words were very apt in expressing the feeling of my loss and my emotions relating to his death! I feel that this song brings me very close to my Dad in some way, it allows me to say what I have always wanted to say to him! I LOVE YOU DAD (Where ever you are now) xx R.I.P Dad! JAMIE (Jamie Glaser) is so very dear to us not only as a songwriter but as a person and now a friend, an incredible friend! Jamie has an amazing background in the music business so please go to Jamie's web site and read his biography at: http://www.jamieglaser.com/ Jamie is not only a very established composer but he is also a sensational musician, which you will all read when you visit his site! He both composed and arranged this whole song using his amazing talent. THANK YOU, THANK YOU AND THANK YOU AGAIN JAMIE FOR MY SONG AND YOUR FRIENDSHIP!!! WE LOVE YOU!!! This vocal recording was produced by Arena Studios, so I want to say thank you to Gary Hughes who has been so great! Please have a look at some of these links to Gary's web sites!!!! http://www.gary-hughes.com/ http://www.tenofthebest.com/ I have loved singing since I was about 7 years old. I guess it is the showbiz background I came from! My dad was Brian Rossi, a famous entertainer from Belfast. My mum is Pat Rossi who was his manager for many years. My dad is best remembered for being the lead singer in his group called The Wheels and being band leader and showman at the Plaza Ballroom, Belfast. He then gave Van Morrison his first break and subsequently Van Morrison wrote ''Gloria'' for The Wheels. Dad also had a huge English following. His most popular venue was the famous Queens Dolphin Bar at Cleveleys, Lancashire where he appeared for 7 years. Van Morrison always refers to dad in any interviews that he does. Sadly my dad died in 1984 at the age of 49. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR READING THIS, I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THE SONG AND THE STORY BEHIND IT! YOUR SUPPORT IS ALWAYS AMAZING!!
