So, the end of 2020, NPR asked me if I would write a song kind of memorializing people who had been lost during the pandemic, and I didn't really know how to hook into that, you know.

I was writing with some really talented people one day right before Christmas, and we were on a Zoom at that point, and one of them got on and said, you know, she'd been up been up for a long time 'cause her aunt had passed away the night before.

And another had just lost her mom.

And, so, we started talking about people that we had lost, and I had this idea in my phone forever, and it was just "remember me beautiful, remember me young."

And, so, I said, "Hey, look, you know, whatever we were gonna write today, maybe we should write this.

It feels like it's in the air."

And, so, we did, and NPR featured it, and it has blown my mind the response that this song has got with people who send pictures of people that they have lost.

And we usually do a slide show.

Tonight, we have the beautiful skyline of Austin behind us, so we won't be doing a slide show tonight, but it really is very touching and moving to me, the number of people that have been touched by this song.

This one is called "Remember Me Beautiful."
