Everything starts with an idea and this idea with help and support comes to fruition. This single is a collaboration between Scarlet River Management, Country Chat with Dom and all the artists within the picture above, Brittany McLamb, Daniel Borge, Charlotte Young, Georgia Nevada Emilia Quinn, Bob Fitzgerald, Emma Moore and Kyle Elliot and the song is written and produced by Tyler Spicer and Aidan Thompson. This group of people have come together to become Together Country to bring you the song "I won't forget to miss you" in aid of Mental Health charity Mind. 2020 has not been the year that everyone had planned. The pandemic around the world has meant people have not been able to see loved ones, have lost livelihoods and have seen huge losses in terms of business and even lives so this unity and song brings some hope and a message to send to our loved ones all year round but particularly this Christmastime. Physical health is important but we cannot forget how important our mental health is and how we take care of ourselves and our family is equally as important always. I Won't forget to Miss you is beautiful ballad that will make you reminisce about those loves ones you have in your life that you want to see, hug and be with them but due to the difficult and challenging climate at present around the world this is a challenge we were not expecting in 2020. We can't travel to enjoy music with friends, we can't travel to see people in other countries without being in isolation for two weeks. It is hard on all of us and music is something that can bring us altogether. The songs makes me feel nostalgic when I listen to it remembering people in a loving and caring way, those I love who are here and those who are no longer here. I am missing many people and not being able to go and see them makes me miss them all the more. There is no way I will forget to miss them and this song is a loving tribute to all of them, to all of you. They are always on my mind and with this song it really is a loving way to let them know. It is a beautiful modern country track that I can see people sending to their loved ones this Christmas and possibly many of them after. I messaged the artists to ask what it meant to be involved in the song and what it meant that it was for mind mental health charity.
Georgia Nevada said "It’s been great to be a part of a feel good collaboration like this with so many awesome artists. They’re all so talented and I am so grateful to have been asked by SRM and Country Chat With Dom to be a part of it"
Kyle Elliot "It was such a rewarding opportunity to come together with other artists and friends from around the world to create such a meaningful project. It’s experiences like this that make me thankful to be apart of such a unique industry that allows us do such good for our community and our world. I hope this song can help brighten someone’s Christmas!”
Emilia Quinn "I was asked by Rachel to feature on the track and when she told me the whole concept and charity it was supporting I was definitely up for it. It was a really fun project to be part of and a little different to what I've done before! I think Mind is a really awesome charity, I actually did a Christmas gig with Whiskey Kisses to raise money for mind last year so something I'm totally up for supporting. This year especially everyone's mental health has taken a hit and if it helps support an organisation that help that it's worth every second I put in"
Emma Moore "It was so lovely to be asked to be a part of the song, especially by two people who work with a huge of amount of talented artists - it was such an honour. I think a small silver lining of this year has been in the value people have placed on their mental health, and how many more conversations are opening up about it. Mind do an incredible job of supporting people who are struggling and I think it’s the perfect choice to donate to this year, as the one place we should always feel completely safe is in our own mind"
Brittany McLamb "It was such an honor to have even been considered as a contributing artist for this project! I’ve never been a part of a collaboration of this size before, so I was excited to get involved and hear the track! When Dom and Rachel sent the track over my initial response was “This is good stuff!” I could immediately relate to certain aspects of the song! You’ll know what I mean when you hear it! :) The song lyrics and melody are a bit of an earworm, so don’t expect to get them out of your head for at least the rest of 2020! Haha! I love creating music in general, but when the music is able to support such a wonderful charity as Mind it puts the icing on the cake! Mental health is such an important subject matter and something that gets brushed under the rug all too often! It’s important that we have organizations that folks can reach out to when they need help and support!The process was unique in that we all recorded our vocals from different countries and brought them together to make a beautiful track. I learned my vocal parts and recorded them from my upstairs office with the assistance of my boyfriend, Aidan Thompson. It was a fun experience and I think everyone will love how it all came together and turned out!"
Charlotte Young "Loved being involved, an awesome team behind it in terms of writing, production and promotion and just felt nice to be a part of something special, mind is an extraordinary charity and very worthy cause, having being lucky enough to haven’t majorly suffered with mental health, I know it’s a battle I will see many loved ones fight and Mind do incredible work making sure we all stay afloat and are feeling healthy . With winter being a hard time for some hopefully this song will bring comfort and some cheer to this dreary year"
Bob Fitzgerald "I was delighted to be asked to be part of this beautiful project and to be working alongside so many great artists, all be it remotely. It’s a great track by Tyler Spicer and a truly wonderful and timely idea of Dom and Rachel to put it together. Mental Health awareness is such a meaningful and very relevant cause, right now as much as ever. Please do pre-order your copy and help raise awareness for Mind Charity.
The song itself has a very catchy hook and chorus that as Brittany says you will be singing and humming when you go shopping in the supermarket, yes I did that! Wait till you hear it and you will too! The riff at the beginning leads you in nicely to the song and the singing is gorgeous and to me shows another side to these artists voices. I must admit I had trouble deciphering a couple of voices! I have been listening to it a few times to try and figure that one out! Shows versatility in the vocals.
"I want to hold you neath that New York skylight, stare into those big blue eyes, and celebrate another year oh how time flies, In a year that's been full of woe, holding onto family, holding on to hope, there's just one thing I want you to know I won't forget to miss you underneath the mistletoe"
This is the chorus which builds throughout the song and everyone sings it together at the end and it leaves a lump in my throat.
Send love to family, friends and the wider community, it is that one thing that will always help and heal during these difficult times and always.
Go and pre order this song and send it as gifts to your family and friends and raise money for Mind Mental health Charity to do their important work now and always.
Sending love.
