IRSF is proud to announce the official release of the song, Silent Angels, by Ayme Loren on the IRSF Facebook ifan store!
Ayme Loren is a singer/songwriter who has been an important advocate for Rett syndrome with the release of her song, Silent Angels, which she wrote in honor of our beloved Rett angels. “Silent Angels is about holding on to hope,” said Loren. “It's about believing in possibility no matter what your challenges may be. It's about breaking down barriers. The impossible can very much become possible. The powers of belief and faith can move mountains and create change as long as you never give up.” Loren has been a significant force in gaining awareness for Rett syndrome with her song.
What brought you and Lee together to write it?
Lee and I have always enjoyed the collaborative approach to songwriting and have written many beautiful songs together both before and after the creation of Silent Angels. Our songs have also always told a story. When I chose the parent perspective in telling the story for this song, I knew one of the messages would be encouraging the joining together of others for a greater cause. This choice made me want to join together with another to write so it was natural for me to ask Lee if he wanted to be part of the creation of the song.
What do you hope this song does for the listener?
I hope listeners will be inspired to make a difference. I hope parents will feel that their voice is being heard. Even though I'm not a parent (yet!), I work within the special needs community each and every day, and I understand and have witnessed families' many battles, triumphs, struggles and fears that come along with raising a child with special needs. So, I do hear the parent voice and I strongly believe it needs to be heard. Rett children are angels; Parents and families are heroes fighting for the rights of their children. At the root of it all...what we want is for our children to be safe, healthy and loved.
What do you hope this song will accomplish?
I hope this song is able to reach listeners all around the world because the song tells a very important and inspiring story. I hope Silent Angels creates and spreads awareness for the Rett cause. I also hope to raise more funds for research through the sales of the song.
"I am so pleased and humbled by the fact that this song has served the foundation and the Rett cause so well since the initial release. I feel honored to have consistently received feedback from parents and advocates around the world who have shared how much the song means to them, how deeply it has moved them, and how it has helped them cope with their child’s challenges and needs." - AYME, singer/songwriter and special needs advocate
