  • I showed Mammie the new song "Afraid of the Dark" that I wrote for her. I think she loves it. She is such an amazing woman it makes me so proud that you all have embraced her too.

      Don't stop hugging her. Enjoy every minute. You got no idea how much you'll miss them when they're gone. Mine passed away over 25 years ago and I still keep a couple of Grandpa's sweaters and some of Grandma's coffee cups. What I wouldn't do to have one more breakfast with them.

    Your songs really do have a such a powerful reaction for me. First was run away to Mars, it really spoke to me, and now with this one broke me pretty badly. I was raised by my grandmother and she's no longer with us. It is a beautiful song and it brings back so many memories. Thank you TALK

    TALK, thanks for writing such a wonderful song for Mammie ❤ How completely magical that you were able to leverage your pain and fear of a tragic situation to create a work of art that will doubtlessly help many others through similar situations- and then still be able to show Mammie the beautiful result! Blessings upon you both.

    Talk, I was also raised by my grandmother. However on the 24th of April it will have been 8 years since she passed and she was my rock. This week has been a sensitive one and I popped on the new music Friday as I got ready this morning and your song came on. I instantly resonated with the lyrics (my nana also had a room at the end of the hall) and as if someone waved a wand my face went from dry to covered in liquid coming from my eyes. Like anyone that is instantly connected to a song I came to youtube to do my deep dive on anything and everything TALK. Then I stumble across this lovely video. Cue second waving of the wand. From one grandmas boy to another. Thank you.

    I just lost my Baba (I’m Ukrainian) earlier this year just before Easter. She was my last living grandparent, and she meant so much to me. I don’t think I ever really cried about it. I’ve heard this song a few times, but I guess tonight things were just right and I started bawling when it came on. I knew I loved this song already, but now it means even more because of who it was written for and why. So I just want to say thank you so much for this song ❤

    My guy...sometimes I just can't handle all of the heart and emotion you put into your music. It is so incredibly rare to have this consistently preserved and conveyed in modern (well produced) music. I think that is where the best of your musical talent truly lies. I know you are coming to Red Rocks in the fall, but the wife is about to drop another kid and unfortunately we won't be able to make it:( Its a real shame. I really wish we could be there. Please come back to Colorado soon!
    I hope your talent will bring you a fraction of the joy you bring to others.
