Just Iike the photograph, this track is the result of pure, unadulterated nostalgia.
The Nostalgia
I've been reflecting a lot on my grandmothers and a few dear friends no longer with me and my loved ones, and a lot of my music lately has reflected that sentiment. It's been hard to escape, and has driven me from writing for a long time. Writing about death is hard.
Dealing with death has probably been the hardest thing I've had to do in my life. I'm not good at it. Maybe no one is good at it, but I feel like I'm especially bad at it. The songwriter left to instrumentals because the words are still too hard to write down, let alone sing.
This is a period of transition for me and for my music. One I am very excited about, even though writing through this particular breed of emotional muck is hard as hell.
Nostalgia can be as whimsical as it is torturous.
The Track
This is based on a piano loop I played on my irig keys pro through GarageBand all on my mobile (iPhone 6+). All parts are original and played by me.
I hope you enjoy. As always, comments and suggestions are more than welcomed. MIDI controllers + mobile devices + mobile DAW is all still new territory for me.
