"Beware of Darkness" Is one of my favorite songs, "All Things Must Pass" is one of my Favorite albums. And I just felt like we have to do this song, and It's also a song that speaks to this time. And it feels like a bit Of a love letter to our children, sort of a song of warning about What to watch for as you inherit this planet. And who better to have Come play on it than Eric Clapton? And I know Eric knew him, was Close to him. They had a long history together. Eric has also been A dear friend of mine for years. We've been close. He's been a great Friend. He's been an inspiration to me and so I asked him if he would Play on it. And, oh my goodness, I feel like he was tapping into Something that was connected to his relationship with George. So that Had a lot of meaning for me as well. And I asked Sting to sing on it And Sting has also been a very great friend. And we've had a lot of Personal experiences together, particularly when I was going through Cancer. And he's been a wonderful friend. And he's also been somebody Who was there in the early days for me with my getting signed to His producer. So he's definitely a major part of my story. And then I asked Brandi to sing on it because I feel like she has this Mother Earth persona. She has this levity, this profundity about her. She Is a mom, and she is just a great deep person that I feel like holds The future also. So she and I sort of represent the moms in our Telling this story to our children. And then we have these great men Who have a history and a connection to something big.
