End of Summer and Beginning of New Music

Its the end of the summer in a few weeks here and I'm marking the occasion (only by coincidence) with the release of a new song.





This one is the product of several late nights that stretched into the early morning. I wrote and recorded the entire thing in three sittings, all of them somewhere between midnight and 5:00 am.

Natasha was my writing inspiration and consultant. I borrowed a lot of the ideas and styles that she always reads about, common themes from spirituality aka the books you see in the ghosts, astrology and spiritual section of the library. I took those themes and meshed them with a lot of my own more stark concepts to build a new character that could live in the world I was imagining in the song.  She helped fine tune my lyrics once I actually got into the studio again to record them. It was great to have someone to bounce ideas off of. The end result almost feels like a presentation of a different perspective on my own thoughts, like an alternate reality of myself.
