Elijah’s Song (90 second preview) by Shemspeed
A little while back I was at Matis’ listening to songs he was working on and as he was going down the itunes drafts, he got to a song called, “Elijah’s Song”, he tells me this story of a young boy who had cancer and that he used to visit him and just hours before he passed, Matis had gone to the hospital to write and record this song with him. Elijah’s beatufiul voice accompanies Matis throughout and as the song played through his itunes, I started to tear up.
