A writer can write many songs. Sometimes a writer's favourite song isn't his most successful one. “Walking in the Sun” is a good example. It's not my most successful song but it is very meaningful to me.
My father was blind when he was about 6 years old. He was an insurance broker(保险经纪人). He did most of his work at home in Brooklyn, New York. Most of his sales were done on the phone. And he was really good at it. Sometimes, though, he had to go to the offices in Manhattan.
One day, when I was about 13. I went to the offices in Manhattan with him. We were on the way to the subway station and I remembered it was the end of the day. It was a little cold.

Many years later when I was probably 30, I was writing songs for myself. I had an office at A&M Records and they wanted me to record (录制) some of my songs. I thought about that day and “Walking in the Sun”. It's very simple. It says that when things are very negative, you need to know when they get better. At the end of the song, it says：Even a blind man can tell when he's walking in the sun.
I was the first person to record it but I'm very moved(感动的) because it's also been sung by many famous singers. I think people like it because they can tell it comes from a place of sincerity(真诚).
