Amanda Hagel's latest video is out! She shares her inspiration about the song:
"Ten years ago my dad Tony lost his fight with cancer. I began writing this song shortly after as a way to not feel so much sadness. To imagine what it would be like the next time we would see each other brought a sense of hope, of peace and was a way for me to reach out musically and say hello every time I sang the song.
