We have all been in shock and saddened by the tragic murder of singer/songwriter, Christina Grimmie. She was an incredible musician who touched lives of many. She also inspired so many more with the gift of her music. She was a bright shiny light in the world, gone too soon. It has been hard for all of us to wrap our mind around the sudden loss.
Singer/Songwriter Joel Poe who brings out such a depth of emotion through his music, created a music video covering Hello by Evanescence and has dedicted it to Christina. Joel comments,
Christina was a very sweet and talented girl. I think one of the things I admired the most about her was how humble she was even after being so well known.
I remember when I met her I was starstruck . I got to speak with her after a show and she was so kind, and she smiled the whole time, with one of those sincere smiles that warms hearts. We talked about music, mainly about piano stuff.She was in a hurry. I told her a couple of song titles that I would love to hear her cover. We hugged and she left. And the next time I saw her she was on The Voice.When I heard she had been shot I felt shocked, I thought it was some made up story on the internet. But it wasn’t.Still days after, and even when I wasn’t someone close to her, I can’t begin to understand why someone would take the life of such a kindhearted and humble person. And what hurts me the most is the undeserved violence, and to think how scared she must have been.Rest in Peace Christina. Keep singing up there, love.
