Let me ask you guys a question, do you believe in heaven? This isn’t a religious question though, and regardless of your beliefs, I think that most of us can agree that a place where there is no violence, no evil, and only good, deserving people, kicking it with the angels is a pretty awesome place. Am I right? Eh? Eh?
Ok, the stage has been set. Now imagine that heaven had a voice, that it could actually talk to you, that the angels could sing us beautiful songs. Are you imagining it? Well, then you now have an idea of what the experience of listening to Asha Iwanowicz feels like.
The first time I saw Asha was at an Inspired Word show, where she often comes out, plays the guitar and piano while singing a song. Asha has a captivating presence, and she caught my attention from the moment I first laid eyes on her. But I digress, so yes, she plays guitar, piano, and ukulele as well. When she performs, we all listen—her music is very beautiful. I am naturally drawn to sheer talent, so I was drawn to this woman like a magnet, and I absolutely had to work with her!

The song talks about a person literally walking along, with tears on their face, and the heartbreak of it all. Asha performed the singing on this song (80% of it, by the way), while Charlie Scott and I each performed a hip hop style verse.
Listening to Asha bring my words to life is an unbelievable delight—my ears and soul were overflowing with pleasure. Her voice fits perfectly with the vision I had for this song. As we were recording, us guys in the studio (myself, Charlie Scott, and King Sage, the engineer/co-producer) joked about how all three of us were falling in love with Asha as she sang these melodies. We also mentioned that this song might be quite intense for someone going through a tough emotional time because of its powerful sadness.
