"I wrote and produced Central Park West to honor the memory of my Uncle Chris when he passed away. My great Aunt Stevie, who had a long battle with Alzheimer’s, passed away soon after. They lived on Central Park West for decades, and I cherish the days I spent in the park with them in the park. Walking hand and hand, dancing in the square, watching the mini sail boats on the pond. This a song for anyone mourning the loss of someone or something, where the mix of joyful memories coexist with grief and gratitude. It’s hard to let them go, but those memories are warm and comforting to hold on to."
