Ruby has written a few personal words
about the song : "Ain't cried in a long time" ........
"This song came about at a time when my world was upside down regarding my
musical career. My Music Agent, who has been a wonderful support from the
beginning, knew about the writing retreat in France and pushed very hard for me
to be included on that years visit. I didn't know where I was going in France.
I just had an air ticket and instructions to wait at the airport -
"Someone will meet you there".
Well indeed I was met along with several others all bound for that secret
location. There I was surrounded by writers and musicians from all over the
world. I was on a magical musical planet. My creativity went into overdrive - 9
songs in 7 days, working with writers from New York, Argentina and Nashville.
Ideas came flooding in, experiences, memories and emotions all playing their
part.
A few weeks before leaving for France, an old flame got in touch and said he
would like to visit me if that was alright. It was lovely to see him again, and
because we parted on very good terms it made me think 'what if' ....maybe....
(I hadn't felt like this)' in a long time'.
