She said: ‘I think I was about like 12 or 13…and dad was playing this 40-second version. It was the chorus, that’s all there really was, and the chorus has this beautiful melody, one of those melodies that makes you feel something. 

‘I’m such a melody whore. I just…God, melodies really get me, and this one really got me, and got dad too.’

Billie continued: ‘We found the song, and it’s been one of my top songs for years. I just think about my dad the whole time, because we found it together.
