DNA: You chose to record one of the world’s saddest songs, The Day You Went Away. Why?
Rocco Bene: I’ve had a strong connection to The Day You Went Away by Wendy Mathews since I was 12. I’ve always wanted to record it, and life took a tragic turn last year that influenced my soul and music. This was the last song my mum heard before she passed. I played it to her when she was surrounded by her family. It was also played at her memorial. This song has always put a smile on my face, but still brings a certain sadness to my heart.
