I can't belive I ever doubted you, Mr. Garland.

I'm going to be honest. For the past couple of months, I kind of thought Travis Garland had turned into a bit of a sell out...well, actually ever since his American Idol performance I thought he wasn't the same guy he was when he was in NLT....Once again he proved me wrong.

I'd heard his remix of "Airplanes" by B.O.B but I had never read the story he shared in the description of the video....This is it:

"when i sat down to work on this record, i was reading some fan messages. one in particular caught my eye, from a girl named shakeitta. shakeitta has been a loyal fan for a few years now & i even got the chance to meet her and her sister on tour a couple of years back. i opened her message & was extremely upset to hear that she just lost her sister serita to cancer, at the age of 24.



i don't even think shakeitta herself thought the message would get to me, but it did and i was deeply moved by her story & her love for her big sister. serita was special, i could tell that from just one short encounter with her. some of the lyrics i wrote are inspired by her and by shakeitta. my prayers go out to her family... here's something that i hope serita would be proud of.


tg."

I read this while listening to the song and then I listened to the song again, and really listened to the lyrics.

I cried.

Travis Garland, I apologize for ever doubting your actions, intentions or integrity.
You really are still the amazing and talented guy you have always been.

Don't ever change. Please.

I have supported you since NLT and I will continue to do so.
You rock <3
