Piano/vocal recording of “You’re the Best” from the AFTERGLOW collection. Released during Pride Month, this uplifting music video features themes of empowerment, courage, and celebration. Story Behind the Song: I awoke from a dream one morning with music from what would become the chorus to this song in my head. The dream was fading fast, but I knew it was inspirational – something about opening a doorway and leaving the “bullies” behind. As I played the chorus on piano, I soon began singing the words that would become a motivational anthem that encourages people to rise above the negativity they might face on social media, at school, in the workplace … and even at home.
