<p>Although written in under an hour, the life of this song took many years to complete and be released. It had always been a special song to me but I never knew if it would actually see the light of day, but I knew it deserved to be heard and to find it's place in the world and what I realized is that you should never give up on what you believe in and it's never too late.</p>
<p>I hope you all enjoy this song as much as I do.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you for the support over the years.</p>

<p>One month from today I will be releasing my new Single, "When The World Was Special". </p>
<p>To say I'm excited would be an understatement! This song has been a long time in the making and is deeply personal to me and everyone involved in the process along the way. I will be posting a "behind the song" video describing the writing and recording process!</p>
<p>Can't wait for you all to hear it!</p>

A NEW EP OF ORIGINAL MUSIC IS CURRENTLY BEING RECORDED!!! I promise :)<br><br>I will also be posting live videos within the next month or so of some new songs and a few of my favorite covers, so stay tuned for that!<br><br>If you are a member on Spotify I'd love to invite you to follow my artist page. It currently has the full Proper Goodbye EP available with new tracks coming soon! If you are not a member of Spotify, I strongly suggest you become one, LOL! It really is a wonderful new way to listen to music and it's all at your fingertips.<br><br>Now I do have to say, I was not a huge fan of music streaming sites in the beginning. I felt it was taking away from legitimate sales for artists; why buy the album when you can stream it for free. But the more I used Spotify, the more artists I was discovering and becoming fans of and in turn, BUYING their music. I am able to create playlists for the different bands I am in for the songs I have to learn, and playlists for my students music as well. PLUS, not mention for an independent artist to get their original music on a Spotify Curated playlist could mean a huge traction boost, and a huge increase in streams.<br><br>Now I know that the pay out per stream is not great. Actually between $0.006 and $0.0084; this amount varies depending on how it's divided up. <br>I will link an article.<br><br><a contents="This is a good article!" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2016/10/25/how-much-does-the-average-artist-earn-per-play-on-spotify/#3e47f24d6e48">This a good article!</a><br><br>But the way I look at it is this... Streaming is not going anywhere. If anything, it gains more and more power and attracts more and more people each day. So why not embrace it. I spent too many years turning my back on things like music streaming and social media and it only hurt my music in the end.<br><br>So, with that being said, if you're on Spotify, I'd love for you to follow my artist page!<br><br>More news soon!Petrina Foley
