Dyslexia Foundation - The Closer You Get, The Bigger I Look
Specially written for the Foundation by one of New Zealand's foremost singer/songwriters, Don McGlashan, The Closer You Get, The Bigger I Look is both inspired by the challenges of difference and celebrates the creative gifts that dyslexia can bring. The Foundation enlisted the help of Sean Donnelly to produce the song and roots/rock band dDub to perform it.
Recorded in just one day at Sean Donnelly's studio in Auckland, The Closer You Get, The Bigger I Look's thought provoking lyrics were brought to life by dDub's engaging and uplifting sound.
The song is released to the public on Thursday 11 June in the lead-up to Dyslexia Action Week (15-21 June), and aims to raise awareness and understanding of dyslexia so that those with this learning difficulty receive the support they need to reach their extraordinary potential.
