Connecticut Musician Corey Durkin Pens a Song for Aimee Copeland

Corey Durkin, a muscian from Connecticut, hit Youtube to show his support for Aimee Copeland, a Georgia woman diagnosed with a flesh-eating disease and who's is sweeping the globe. 

Durkin said in the Youtube message that he heard about Copeland this week, after a friend posted a message about her in his Facebook newsfeed. He was compelled to write a song for the 24-year-old Snellville, Ga., woman.

The song is entitled "Southern Belle."

"I wasn't reading it from a news outlet, I was reading it from her father's Facebook post, from her father's status. And, it just hit me. I was floored. I was just sitting there staring at my phone, like Oh my God.

Like, just the tragedy, and just feeling.. You know, I really, I felt the pain that her father was feeling as he's typing that. What a horrible thing for any parent to have to go through. And, the song just came out."

Durkin said he hopes the song lifts her up, and that he would like to also perform the song for Copeland in her Augusta hospital room.

To Copeland, he said: "Just know that my thoughts and prayers and the thoughts and prayers of so many other people around the world are with you, and we're rooting for you."

(Durkin indicated that anyone would be willing to drive him from Nashville to Augusta next week to perform for Aimee Copeland to please contact him. Find more about Durkin and contact information on his website.)
