Factor B - The Girl With Her Head In The Clouds [Ellie's Song]

In 2022, Ellie Gray - fiancée and love of Brendans life - was sadly diagnosed with terminal cancer. Shortly after, Brendan and Ellie packed up their lives in Amsterdam and returned to Australia to be closer to family & friends during her final months, during this transition, Brendan promised not only to write Ellie a song but to start creating an entire album in her loving memory. Inspiration was fleeting, but Ellies strength and resilience in the face of adversity gave Brendan the spark he needed to begin such a deeply meaningful project. On April 1, 2022, Ellie tragically but courageously lost her battle. This was the last song Ellie ever heard that Brendan had created and on the very next day, April 2, 2022, Brendan drew from Ellies warrior spirit, strength, and resilience to perform at Subculture Melbourne, in front of his hometown crowd, family, and their friends as a tribute to her life. This was the first song Brendan famously played on that day. This record has since resonated deeply with music lovers around the world. For the past 2.5 years, it has appeared in nearly every Factor B set as a tribute to Ellie and his late mother, Delia, whom he also lost to cancer that same year. This song is more than just a trance record; its a symbol of love, unity, and resilience. It has galvanized a community of electronic music fans who have also had their lives affected by cancer. Appropriately named The Girl with Her Head in the Clouds after Ellies unique and distinctive forearm tattoo, this record serves as a beacon of hope and pillar of resilience to all who hear it. The Girl with Her Head in the Clouds is the lead single of Brendans forthcoming tribute album Theatre of the Mind - Bloom (In Loving Memory) which will go on pre-sale October 4th 2024.
