I started to analyze his lyrics and learn from his songwriting." Lizzy added, "I found that in my later years, when dad was doing more of his solo stuff, his singer-songwriter genre folk stuff, I really connected with his music. We grew up around music constantly," said Dani. "He's so talented and such an inspiration to us. That's what comes of a household where your mother is Myriam Nelson, a noted singer-songwriter, and your father is Paul freakin' Hyde of The Payola$. They have built their act on a schooled music basis. Sometimes it's hard to know if one of their songs has one classification over another because even their hiphop material is sung. They didn't turn their backs on the street beats, though.
So the rappers became pop stars, with subsequent melodic hits like Keep Her Love, We Were Built To Last and the crunchy dance punch Toxic. We wanted to make it accessible to everybody," Dani said. "We just knew that there were children, there were elders, there were people from all walks of life that connected with that song. So when it took off, we had to take into account there was this fan base who connected with that song and that style, so as a group we decided to make an album for anyone who came across Dancing In The Sky and went looking for more of that." As Dani & Lizzy we weren't doing that very much.
"It was something I was experimenting with just on my own.
"Dancing In The Sky was definitely a different genre for us," said Lizzy. And what's a hiphop duo to do when their first big hit is a pop song? They knew when Dancing In The Sky was popping YouTube circuits that they were experiencing an extraordinary moment and now they had to follow up smartly. This is the five-year anniversary of the song and it keeps continuing to touch people, which is amazing," said Dani.įive years hence from the song that grabbed hearts by the million, and dad's advice to his daughters doesn't sound so smart, but Dani & Lizzy actually kept it close to heart. Between the two, more than 30 million views have been gathered. So many people watched it they made an official video and released it to Vevo and other worldwide platforms. It was her solo interpretation of Dancing In The Sky, just singing straight into a webcam, no effects, no band, that first brought the duo to public attention. It was crazy," said Lizzy, who knows a little something about viral videos. "We met Margaret, too, the daughter of the woman who died, and Margaret's best friend. It was called Dancing In The Sky and the singers-songwriters were Dani & Lizzy. The song was a swaying ballad of missing someone who had passed on. The Today Show was honouring the nurse, and thought to bring in the actual singers of that comforting song, to sing it back to her. The elder's loved ones filmed this routine and the video of it went viral. It was a frequent comfort in the elder's final days. The segment was a profile of a palliative care nurse who sang an elderly patient's favourite song to her. But it was still in their minds, years later, as Dani and Lizzy were sitting on a plane last week from their hometown of Vancouver on their way to Nashville to meet up with a film crew from The Today Show. From his insider experience, the music business could be brutally difficult and achingly hollow. A father named Paul gave some pointed advice to his daughters Danielle and Elizabeth.
