he consistently recognized. He never got her name wrong once. As she flew home Danielle remembers being so afraid he would forget who she was before she arrived; however, when she went over to his bedside and said “Pepere”, he immediately replied “Danielle you’re here.” He still knew her name. When Danielle returned to Nashville and met with her co-writer / producer they discussed her situation and her fear of being forgotten and “Forget” composed. Danielle said that her initial reaction was to question her faith, because she could not fathom why God would pull her grandfather away from her. As she began thinking about how extremely blessed she was that, even with a brain bleed, he still recognized her, she suddenly had this overwhelming feeling of love along with the sudden realization that her grandfather had not forgotten her and neither had God. That’s why the main message of “Forget” to is even when we feel forgotten we should know that God is still with us.
Like “Forget”, the lyrics for “Always With You” come from a very personal place for Danielle that certainly create emotions, bring about awareness and entertain. “Always With You” is dedicated to Danielle’s grandmother who lost her battle with cancer in April of 2016. As soon as she was diagnosed, Danielle began working on the concept for her third song. A week before her grandmother was diagnosed with cancer, Danielle was in Quebec. Since her grandmother wasn’t feeling well, she asked Danielle to go to a church and light a candle for her. In this church Danielle bought her grandmother a medal with an angel on one side and the saying “Toujours Avec Toi” (Always With You) on the other side. A few days after Danielle gave the medal to her grandmother, she found out she had cancer. All of the sudden, the saying on that medal took on a whole new meaning. Danielle and her grandmother had many conversations about how she believed she would, in ways, always be with her and the rest of the family. She talked about her fears and her religious beliefs. “Always With You” came from those conversations. Once again Danielle not only wanted, but needed, a song that would remind everyone that God is always with them and that those we lose, are also always with us. When she met with her co-writer / producer on April 18, 2016, they composed “Always With You” within an hour.
He never forgot me...
Isaiah 41:10 ESV
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
After graduating from Cony High School in June 2016, Danielle knew her next step was to continue to pursue music. In August 2016 Danielle headed to Montreat College in North Carolina where she plans to obtain a degree in Music Business and to continue to write and record with the goal of using her talents and business aspirations to continue to help others through music. Danielle definitely has a knack for knowing how to evoke emotions. Every song she has co-written and sang has a powerful message that is definitely thought provoking. As she continues down her musical path, there is no doubt she has all the talent and potential to succeed.
