On Tuesday Ayah and the magnificent DJ himself released their video to the public. I've seen it. It's pretty good. It covers an issue that doesn't get covered enough. Watch it. You'll see.

Adventures With Ayah 9 - Forgive Me Love Live
This past Sunday evening I had the privilege of accompanying Ayah at her video release event for her song "Forgive Me Love."
Essentially the video is about abusive relationships so she coincided the event with The Forgiveness Project. This is a foundation where more prominent figures talk about the abuses they suffered in the course of their lifetime. The goal of this is to inspire others that may be experiencing something similar that they can survive and get away from it. Then there would be a set of unplugged music from Ayah, which is where I come in. It was a very nice event.
As the night was going on, however, her piano player and I were getting increasingly nervous. Not about our ability but we both were feeling it was going to be very hard to play upbeat tunes after people were pouring out their hearts on the stage about all the shitty things that have happened to them. And I'm not referring to "My husband calls me a fat cow all the time." kind of stuff. These events being described were terribly violent and we're both sitting there thinking of all the great acts that have opened before and after other artists we've played for, this one was difficult in a weird way.
Nonetheless our worries were vanquished as the set went well, and Ayah has never sounded better than she has right now. I'm looking forward to more things that are in the works.
