Nathan Osmond - Will You Still Love Me composed by Jamie Glaser

Nathan Osmond is our next guest. He will be performing Will You Still Love Me? written and composed by Jamie Glaser from his album, "Dear Santa." I would like to share with you a beautiful letter from Jamie.
"The inspiration for this song started in LA where I began to sketch the lyric.

Every Christmas the LA Mission has a big dinner etc for the homeless. Its filled with LA stars and gets a lot of attention.
I signed up to be a volunteer and when they found out that I was the guitarist on Seinfeld and with Manhattan Transfer they assigned me to be one of the cooks. It was quite a treat preparing the food for this occasion. They asked me if I'd like to help Ed Asner out at his station and also serve the people and I did that as well as walk around and talk to the 100's of people there enjoying a nutritious meal.
Smiles everywhere, good cheer, people being cared about...all cause it was Christmas!

Three days later I had a gig downtown and decided to drive by the mission... and what I saw was mind blowing. People lighting fires in the streets to keep warm, families in cardboard boxes, mothers, fathers, dogs, starving... a man eating out of a huge garbage bin.

I ran home that night and began writing.. I wrote basically the outline of the song as you now know it...
Everyone is helpful, and charitable , and feeding the hungry and giving canned goods, and standing in the cold to feed , clothe and soothe the needy...and when Christmas is through...it all goes away.

Its like we open our hearts for one day and think we've done something! It kills me that this is how it is...so I wrote the lyric and put it away.

Here in Utah 12 years later I worked as a volunteer at the humane society and 4 days after Christmas ... the place was teaming with people giving up their "christmas present" -a beautiful bunny, a dog, a cat, a rat, a bird, all given up like they were worn out IPODS.

Just one week before, you couldn't walk in that building cause people were RESCUING and adopting animals like wildfire. Oh he's so cute, oh baby we will give you your forever home, kids crying cause they wanted the white bunny.....more than 1/2 of these animals were returned...
I sat there ...and within 5 minutes the song, melody and arrangement was done! I HAD TO WRITE THIS SONG!
