Denise Rich Penned “Silver Lining” For Hayley Gene Penner
Singer/Songwriter Hayley Gene Penner has released the single “Silver Lining” with Singer/Songwriter, co-written by Denise Rich at a BMI/DRS Aspen Songwriting Camp! Rich and Penner collaborated with Joe London and Jarrad Krtizstein to make this beautiful song come alive.
Hayley explained the process on Instagram (@hayleygenepenner) and writes:
Some songs just arrive on your tongue. They strike through you like a bolt of lightening, punctuating an epic 4 hour crying spree. Some songs just sort of happen to you. They require nothing but a bit of openness in order to arrive. And it is very romantic. And it is very magical. Then some songs don’t. Some songs are a labor of love and time and patience. Some songs are the result of a group of people who want nothing more than to sit around an indoor pool in a house in Aspen on a Tuesday morning and write a song about love.

Panic! At The Disco’s “High Hopes” written in Aspen
The Denise Rich Songs/BMI Aspen Songwriting Camps prove again to be a great success being the birthplace to the hit Panic! At The Disco Song “High Hopes.” The song was written by songwriting’s rising stars Tayla Parx, Ilsey Juber, Cook Classics and Jonas Jeberg at a Fall camp – it’s hard to not feel inspired surrounded by the yellow Aspen trees and surrounding mountains.
The song has reached #1 on Pop, Adult AC and Alternative Radio simultaneously – the fourth song ever to hold that honor. Also, with 14 weeks at #1 Hot 100 Radio, the song tied Alicia Keys’ “No One” and Celine Dion’s “Because You Loved Me” for the fifth longest-leading number one. Amazing company to be a part of!
