| 2009-01-27 |
| AUSSIE singer Emma Cowan went to New York for creative inspiration and found it in the form of a plane wreck in the icy Hudson River. Plane ditch survivor Ms Cowan has composed a song for the hero pilot behind the miraculous water landing that saved her life - and 154 others. Called Send Another Prayer, the tune is the Perth performer's own heartfelt expression of gratitude to veteran airman Chesley B Sullenberger, who safely downed the massive Airbus in the water after a flock of geese struck its engines 12 days ago. "It's a thank you to the pilot and a thank you to God for my life," Ms Cowan told the Herald Sun. "It's such a amazing thing they've done." Listen to Send Another Prayer by clicking here Ms Cowan, who performs under the surname Sophina, is in New York recording with Grammy-winning producers Marc Swersky and Tony Black at their New Jersey studio. She acknowledged that Mr Sullenberger not only saved her life, but worked miracles for her profile as a musician. "It's expanded my career which is realy cool," she said. "I went there to find some inspiration and the search ended that day," she said. She was introduced to the production team through former boy band vocalist Gary Pinto, who is based in Melbourne. |
