Nii'Diin'Schlii'
- Is a Dine' phrase
meaning in loose translation, "I miss you", or "my heart
longs for you". There is no accurate way to articulate this phrase in
the English language.
- "Ayoo'ii'niin'shnii'" is translated as "I
love you", but the closest literal translation would be something like
"my life is for you".
- "Shii' Awee', haa'goo'" loosely translates as
"my sweet child, my precious one, come here".
For purposes of the song, I've taken wide liberty with the words, intending
them to send a message from my heart, one that I pray my child hears. However,
in the context from the listener's point of view, the song is about a lost love,
one that holds tremendous regret for the break up of a relationship.

- Meade Steadman on sax, lead instrument
in this song. It was hot, he's wearing black, and probably
lost 10 pounds in the shoot. Perhaps I should
have worn black too.
- We all got sunburned, and the salt was
brutal. It was hard being on the salt for 7 hours. Imagine
what the early explorers crossing this desert must have
experienced.

- Playing the piano in the hundred
plus degree heat. I was terrified that the heat was going to
damage this wonderful $60,000.00 instrument loaned to us by
YAMAHA and the Piano Superstore of Murray, Utah. YAMAHA has
been a terrific supporter of mine for many years, helping
with many children's projects, and recordings with Jim
Brickman. Thank you Susan and Lori!!

Working on this video was a sheer joy. Brian M, our camera operator, was
awesome. He kept looking for those hard to get angles, because on the
salt, the sun is reflected everywhere. We had to contend with wind,
rain, heat, wet salt, sand, truckers driving by, all the while being
concerned with a very expensive piano, a very expensive brass bed, and
trying to beat the tornado that hit the city. When our cameraman and his
room mate arrived back at their home, they found the tornado had
devastated their residence. If they'd not been on the shoot, severe
injury to one of them was highly likely. A foot-thick tree had
penetrated a wall in their home, and was found lying in the center of
their bed. |
