“My mom wrote this song: ‘Fishing in the Sky’ about 30 years ago and recorded it on a cassette tape,” Robert writes. “Last year when Travis and I were up here, we listened to it.”
“Travis has been recording some music lately and about three weeks ago, I pitched the idea to Travis to get the lyrics and look into recording it.
Today I had the pleasure of sharing the finished product with my mom. Her reaction is priceless.”
At first, Travis’ grandmother isn’t sure what she’s listening to, but then Travis’ voice rings out across the room. After the first two words, his grandma gasps and covers her face with her hands as she realizes that she’s hearing her own song brought to life.
It’s a truly touching moment – I’m so glad that Robert had a camera on hand to catch her reaction!
Travis and Robert aren’t the only ones who are in awe of her talent.
Soon the post had been viewed millions of times, and people across the world were asking where they could buy the song.
And sure enough, the song soon stormed the country music charts, coming in at #40.
Despite the love for the song, Travis is reluctant to take the credit, instead praising his grandmother’s incredible songwriting skills.
“My grandmother wrote a hit and all she needed was someone to put some vocals to it!” he wrote on Facebook, adding:
“Music can truly bring out the good in people. I have seen that through the response to this song.”
