There are times in one's life when you realize life is precious, time is precious, and memories, despite illnesses that can make them disappear, can last forever. For Vancouver-Based duo Focus Your Audio -- Bobcaygeon, Ontario singer Sarah Stewart and Coquitlam, BC musician Bobby McAloney -- those feelings are vividly captured in the hauntingly precious single "The Long Goodbye." It's a gorgeous, tear-inducing effort detailing the topic of dementia and how difficult it is to see loved ones gradually slip away.

Although universal in its empathy, Stewart says the song was inspired by her nursing career and meeting a special elderly woman who was diagnosed w progressive dementia. “’The Long Goodbye' was written about an incredible woman, someone whose details I didn't want to lose," she says. "This song was based on a single mother who beat all odds, attended medical school in the '60s, and went on to have an incredible impact on the world around her."
