about

Spring is supposed to be when everyone comes out of their houses after a cold winter and embraces the sun and daylight. I was the opposite; working full time and feeling aimless with my musical aspirations, I couldn't muster the energy to go out and see anyone. The ambiguity of where to go next left me quiet, introverted, and a recluse. One night, at about 3 in the morning (I wasn't sleeping much, either,) I picked up my guitar, put it in drop tuning, and, by accident, put my fingers on the fretboard in just the right places, and played each string individually to discover the opening chord to this very song. I played the pattern over and over for hours that night, not sure where to go with it, but knowing I loved it. Relating all too much to my very situation in real life, over the course of the next few months, while writing this EP, I remembered the pattern, and, having grown, let alone gone outside a little (haha,) was able to write more to the song, constructing it to grow and grow, like I felt I had started to, and wanted to do more. For a song with no lyrics, I think the point comes across crystal clear.
