In Their Words: “‘It Don’t Fade’ came to me while walking down the street in my neighborhood in Berkeley, California, and I improvised the lyric and melody almost entirely as it is into my phone recorder. It was the height of the pandemic, and I was feeling wistful and thinking about the threads that tie us together, about my family, who I was so very far away from at that time, and my recovery, which was only a few months in – how even in our hardest moments there might be sunshine somewhere. Hope is a hard thing to find, and I’ve had some hard times, but the music I make helps me get through, and this song has gotten me through so much.” — Mya Byrne
“Using my skills as a producer to help create a path for Mya to succeed was something I felt called to do in my soul. If our goal as a society is to become softer, more loving and more accepting of each other, we need artists like Mya Byrne, who possesses these qualities, to help lead us on our mission.” — Aaron Lee Tasjan
