"It's touched my life, all the experiences I've gone
through. The traumas in my life, but, I feel a lot of people
have gone through, maybe at one point, in their life. Leaving
a hometown where they were going to school, and growing up as
a child, and all of a sudden your shocked into having to make
a move. And I lost a parent back in 79, and also, I've been
through a divorce, so you know, I have been through all those
things that have emotionally been a very emotional trauma to
me. Moving away from my hometown was very difficult. So this
song...that's the reason that the tears flowed. I went into
the studio, and was trying to do a demo on it. Just to see
what my voice would sound like, and I couldn't get beyond the
second verse. Because the third verse of the mother ended up
dying, in the third verse is still trying to teach her
daughter about changes. There is change in life you have to
accept it,and let it turn into something great and good,
because that's all a part of life. And also, goodbye is a
part of our life. We say goodbye to people everyday of our
lives, which is very hard. And this song just touched me so
much that I felt like yeah, I had written this song."
