The American Symphony chronicles Batiste’s journey to compose a symphony following his wife’s cancer return announcement. According to Batiste, the purpose of the lullabies was to facilitate his wife’s easier sleep and allow her to “have peace” throughout her hospital stay.
He claimed that the tunes were never intended for public distribution. The Oscar-nominated song “It Never Went Away” by Jon Batiste from Netflix’s American Symphony has a fascinating past. He told Billboard that he wrote it as a lullaby for his wife, Suleika Jaouad, who was battling leukemia.
He claimed, “She is a best-selling author and was unable to write because the medication severely blurred her vision.” “So I started writing lullabies, and she started painting.” Our partnership centers on the belief that creativity serves as a survival mechanism.
