Forget about the technical aspects of the film, the budget, the effects…when the emotional value of a film has you leaving the cinema feeling so invested in an idea, when you truly believe in what you just saw..yeah, that’s why I want to get into the film industry. That’s why I want to be part of a creative process.

I’m not gonna lie, I wept openly every time I watched this video. Such fluffiness, I can’t get enough.

“Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”
About a month or so ago, a group of us HitRECorders got together to record an album for Niko. We called this album “The Honey Sessions”, and it comprised of his favourite songs covered by various HitRECord artists.
Niko’s favourite song, it transpired, is “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”. So we all teamed up and recorded our stems together, singing Niko’s favourite song from around the globe. Matt [The Morning Hollows] mixed it all together, and above you can listen to what we sent to him.
This song gets harder and harder to listen to. But I am comforted by the fact that in the end, Niko knew how much the community loved him, and we were all brought together by love and a sense of family. This song is just an example of that care and love.

I recorded this song after I found out about Niko’s illness. He was also the last person to heart it on HitRECord.
I woke up this morning and for a moment I thought it had all been some terrible dream.
I miss you already, buddy. You were just too damn cool for us.
It’s Aloha Friday; a tradition where Niko would send me a cool Hawaiian song at the end of the week to listen to. Tomorrow is Och Aye Saturday, where I would send him a Scottish one back.
So today, I’ll just send this one out into the cosmos for him.
