Roveena shares,
“I was playing a show – the first one after my Dad’s passing. Moments before taking the stage, I felt completely numb which I had never experienced. Suddenly, I felt a hand reassuringly squeeze my shoulder from behind – I turned around and to my surprise no one was there. I can honestly say I felt my Dad’s presence in that moment which gave me the strength to get on that stage and perform that night.The next day in studio, I was telling James what had happened and we wrote this song in about twenty minutes. It all just fell into place.”
