As we wrote in this blog post, we have been eagerly
awaiting our training week with Eric Coenen. The training week was fantastic and we thank Eric for visiting us and sharing his positivity and
knowledge with our students, and encouraging the bands to work even harder in a
positive atmosphere. His coaching means a lot to us and we are grateful
for this opportunity to learn more from him.

Ever since Proximity Mine blew us away with their first performance during last year’s Summer School, we knew to expect great things from this band. Their creativity and team work have earned
respect and admiration from everyone at the Rock School, and especially now that they have managed to film their own
music video for their song Sorry Mom. The song is very personal to the lead
singer Ilda, the video depicting the theme of it, and Ilda hopes to inspire and
send an important message through this work. She says:

I wrote the song in August last year in Skopje, and
while I was writing it, I’ve had images going through my head about how I’m
apologizing to my mother for not being the kind of kid that she’s always wanted,
maybe one day I won’t become a doctor, a lawyer and such, but I want to create
art in any way, be it fine arts or music. Then I recorded an acoustic
version with my band and we agreed to film a music video that would visually
convey the message to all parents.

Well, I say job well done, since both the song and the music
video are very powerful in achieving
this goal. Hopefully the message will reach those who most need it, and you can
help by watching the video above and sharing it!
