The song “Child’s Wish” is inspired by a young girl, and her family’s visit to Nashville. The thought of coming here was of their youngest, whom I will call Rachel. Rachel was about 10 years old, and her wish was to go to the Grand Ole Opry.
While speaking to both her and her family, she had no cares in the world. Nothing could, nor would take away the smile she had on her face. She was so excited to be in Nashville! Her wish was coming true! I found out moments later from her mother that Rachel was here with Make a Wish.
The non-profit organization who grants the wishes of terminally ill children. I knew this would be a wish neither Rachel nor her family would ever forget. For Rachel, and for those like her, who are on our minds and in our hearts, I dedicate this song to them. May their wishes and all our wishes come true.
Thanks vandac1115. It was quite the experience I’ll never forget.
Another amazing song! I cannot wait to have the whole album !!! I am going to try downloading this later (on my computer) hopefully I don’t mess it up like I did with the others lol thank you for composing such beautiful music
Thankyi
As with everything that I have been privileged to hear you perform, it’s soothing, and beautiful. As I was listening to your amazing piano playing, my wife was in the next room and had to come in and listen, she wanted to know who was playing this beautiful piece. Love it!
Hi Greg! Thank you both for the kind words…This one is a little more soothing than the others you’ve listened too. Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you and your wife when I am there in New York. Enjoy the song. I’m sending it your way!
“Child’s Wish” is as sweet as the children to whom it is dedicated. I enjoy Corey’s music very much – it soothes the soul and touches the heart. Thank you!
Thank you Katheryn for your thoughts and kind remarks. 🙂 Tried to bring a little innocence into the song, by keeping it simple. A child can teach you a lot about life, and I sure learned a lot from this one.
Thanks Joyce! I like that, “whimsey.” 🙂 As far as composing it, I enjoyed the process, and at times found it quite challenging. When you know the circumstances at play, and trying to communicate that into music, that’s when it’s a challenge. Trying to make it real. And if you’re reacting emotionally, like I did, when your in the process of composing it, then I guess that makes it even more so.
I love your music, son, I’m so proud of you. This latest,”Child’s Wish” is another beautiful piece. When you play from your heart you touch others as well. Love You
Thanks mom…Playing from the heart was something I learned from a great upbringing. It starts with passion, and knowing what it looks like. If passion is there, we can all achieve great things in life. Not only for ourselves, but for others!
