What do you think makes a good story? How do you know that something you’ve written will resonate with an audience? I think you write something that’s coming from a place of, even if it didn’t happen to you, it’s something that you can zone into, or you know some people it has happened to and you also use your imagination it will resonate with people. Another song I’ve written that does that, even though I didn’t personally go through it, it’s called “What You Don’t Remember”, it’s about Alzheimer’s. I thought of the title, “I Won’t Forget What You Don’t Remember”. I just thought, oh, that’s a good title. Right away I knew it would be about Alzheimer’s. It is resonating with a lot of people. I made a video for it that Larry Weisman directed and Bunny Levine plays my mom in it. People not only like the video but the song is being played on radio station’s and they are saying they are getting so many requests for it that they’ve added it to their playlist twice a day and it’s on their top list of songs. I’m actually doing some singing on that one and I don’t usually sing on my songs because I can only carry a tune if it’s not too heavy.
