A Loving Lullaby & The Story Behind It (Ali Handal)

Ali Handal is a multi-award winning songwriter as well as a rockin’ guitarist!  She has recently released a Hal Leonard published book GUITAR FOR GIRLS, which should quickly become a staple learning book for young girls who are looking more to rock than strum.  She has written and toured with some big names, and has the true StrongWriter spirit of being true and never giving up on her musical dreams.

Please enjoy a change of pace from rock-driven guitar phrasings with her latest download single –  a lullaby to a longtime family member, Indy.    She tells the story here.

It’s been a little over a year since my kitty Indy passed away in my arms. I still miss him every day, but I do my best to keep the fond memories of his funny, slightly (!) obnoxious personality in the foreground of my memory.

One thing that really helps me get through hard times is songwriting, and the night that Indy died, I started writing a tender, loving lullaby to him.

Thanks to the sensitivity and expertise of my producer Seth Horan, “Last Lullaby” is now fully realized as a recording that embodies the feelings of motherly love, loss, tenderness, longing and acceptance I struggled with that night.

In the spirit of sharing this song with as many people as possible, I’m making this recording available for free.

My hope is that this song is healing and cathartic for those who need it, and beautiful for those who don’t.  If the song touches you, please share it with your friends.  I would be honored.
