It’s been six years since dad passed, so I’ve had six years of dealing with that personally, but also hearing about other people’s dads or grandads. I’ve gotten to know a lot of people on a much different level because of the song and/or the video. I felt like the song would really help some folks when we wrote it because it was helping me in that moment. I didn’t realize what the impact would be and I’ve learned a lot about the healing power of music. Ultimately I wanted to record a new version of the song to give it a bigger platform and help more people along the way. The new recording reflects those six years in my voice, and sonically it’s a little closer to the way I play the song live and to the way we wrote that day. “Hey Dad” has built its own story and led to so many things in my life. I hope “Hey Dad (2021)” can reach many more people and help heal along the way.
