Dedicated to Mike’s sister Monica, who lost a battle with brain cancer in 2008. Posted on her daughter Allison’s 20th birthday. All of Mike’s portion of the proceeds from sales of this song (and video ad revenue) will be donated to the National Brain Tumor Society.

Notes from Mike: A lot of my followers are aware of our baby Noah’s fight (and victory!) over a brain tumor in 2012-13 because of the “Let It Be” fundraiser I posted. Noah beat some very long odds. But most don’t realize that our family had already been devastated by cancer a few short years earlier, as my sister Monica wasn’t so fortunate. The parallels between the two videos are intentional, since both videos are fighting a common enemy.

This was Monica’s favorite song that I covered, and so I put it away after she passed, since I knew it would be very difficult to ever perform again. But I decided to turn it into a positive thing and help raise money for a cure. I couldn’t think of a better gift to give her daughter Allison on her 20th birthday.

Monica was amazing (yeah, I’m biased, but it’s true). And she was my biggest fan--not an exaggeration. She was so proud of my music efforts and so supportive. E.g., any time I came to visit, she’d insist I bring a bunch of my CD’s with me so she could buy them from me (she insisted on paying me since she knew I was a broke college student) and give them to her friends. When my mom came out to hear me at the Pie Pizzeria in Salt Lake City, Monica would ask her to put her phone on speaker so she could listen when I played this song.

Love,
Mike

I hear ya brother!!! A certain song can take you right back to that heartbreaking moment in time as it is with my Dad who died in 87 from colon cancer(age 44)r and then my Mom in 2011 from Ovarian cancer. I love your stuff! All the same tunes I crank out at karaoke with the same passion as what you do. I'm a proud father of a daughter who has the same gift/passion for music!!!

I lost my Sister in 2017 to meds and alcohol. She was only 60. I miss her everyday. My song dedicated to her would be Silent Lucidity by Queensryche. Beautiful song!

A mate of mine died of a brain cancer in the early 2000's and this was the song chosen to be played at his funeral. Every time I hear it I always think of him and now I will think of you and your sister as well. Thanks Mike, beautiful job mate.
