"Suitcase Heart"

By Jesse Emanuel Macht

Written by Jesse Emanuel Macht and Tyler Lyle.

"Elysium has easily been one of the most fulfilling musical experiences in my life. As much as a I love performing, creating and recording songs, Elysium has allowed me the opportunity to use my music in a fundamentally different way. As a music facilitator teaching the basic crafts of songwriting to a diabetes support group for kids looking for an outlet to communicate their desires and fears, I have felt music touch these kids in a way I can't recreate in any other way I have expressed the craft before. Through the direct interpretation of of these kids interpreting the building blocks of songwriting, and their innate creativity, from point A to point Z of the process, I can see them transform emotionally from merely talking about a subject, to actually writing lines of lyric and melody, and then singing their creations to each other, all within a 2 hour session. These kids transform from the beginning of the session to the end with a vitality and inspiration that blows me away every time. I'm so grateful to be a part of Elysium."

"Nature's Way"

By Paul Lemire

Written by Paul Lemire

"Bringing the simplest acoustic song to a child who is sick in bed I found can make a big difference. Some of the moments I've spent bedside with these kids may have been just as healing for me as I feel it may have been for them. AofE is doing great work and I'll always cherish the times I was able to find my way into the heart of a young person in their time of need."
