This song took awhile and I genuinely didn't think it would turn out this good. Toward the end of filming I started getting chills because this song sums up a lot of things.
Rebecca is an Opera singer. Actually she's a REALLY GOOD Opera singer. Last year I saw her perform in an opera called "Louis Riel" A soaring, atonal opera about Canadian History. It's even boring summed up in one sentence.
Here's the thing, I constantly make fun of it because it was my first opera and it was not what I hoped for (no funny glasses, no really old socialites, no Harpo Marx engaging in shenanigans). However, what I've never told Rebecca, and will say now on the blog no one reads, is that she was amazing. I was stunned, because all that year she sang back up to me at UCM.
The great thing is that when I first started leading on my own I was really scared, but there was something about an opera major behind me that gave me confidence. I could always hear her (not just singing, but talking too). So in a way I find something really very comforting about the sound of her voice. So I wrote this song about that.
