Don't Go Away (feat. Sewella Barnes)

Erik Spangler

This is another song that came out of my year teaching at MATHS Charter School in the Baltimore City Public School System. Sewella Barnes was one of my students who would come after school to record after school, even when she was no longer taking my class. This song, “Don’t Go Away”, consists of her own lyrics and melody over my “Oasis Beat”, a track that I had made for my class back at Oasis Charter Middle School in Florida.
