Musically I was quite happy because though sometimes it’s very subtle, I know there’s a progression on each album and my voice has been maturing. It’s like a diary of what I did each day. I relived the songs completely: the beginning, the middle, the end, the writing of the melody, the parts that worked wonderfully and the parts that didn’t work. It was a little bit difficult to pick selections that would cross over for everyone and to have some of my favorites on as well. I started in February, trying to select the obvious ones, the hits, and others. It was kind of like a musical diary and I really enjoyed it. I thought it would be fun to relive those moments of writing all those melodies.

Then one day I played it from the beginning to the end. For weeks, I have been listening to the inside of me, I have been studying and thinking. For example, for ‘Paint The Sky With Stars’ I have been trying hard to concentrate, for a long time, to find a positive melody. I let flow, I let the way to evolve by itself. Roma’s book, 2005 Quotes about the songĮnya: "To compose is a work that in the extreme involves me totality, a journey during which I give up imposing my rhythms. I am fortunate to have my children, and I always think of those who have lost children when I listen to this song. I have had parents write to me, who have lost children, and who sit at night and do the same thing I do, and all their thoughts are with their children, there, in the stars. It’s a great way to let ideas breathe in your head, as it can get a little cluttered in there sometimes. Sometimes, particularly in winter, I sit outside and look at the night sky. When she was about twelve or thirteen this star was given to her, and she gave it her name. The initial idea came from the fact that she has a star named after her.
