The lyrics draw inspiration from ancient wisdom, including Julian of Norwich’s well-known phrase, “All shall be well” and “This too shall pass.” These lines have stood the test of time, offering solace to those in pain or facing uncertainty.

The production is simple but professional which allows the listeners to focus on Amy’s honesty and creativity. Despite its minimalism, the recording quality is great which makes you focus on the lyrics and the emotions behind them.
Amy’s story behind the song is even more touching. It was written during one of the worst bouts of her multiple auto-immune diseases, “All Shall Be Well” is a very personal work. It is inspiring how she was able to turn her pain into something so moving. She does not hide the fact that there are struggles but she provides hope through acceptance and hard work.
