I’ve wanted to release new music for a while now and it hasn’t ever felt like the right time, until now.
Since my last album “Panthenon” was released I’ve been steadily working on new material, so much so that I now have over 100 new songs in various states of completion.
But the song I’m releasing today I wrote and recorded yesterday (11/9/16). It’s meditative and anxious, sad and understated, and doesn’t yet feel complete. Still I feel compelled to release it.
It speaks to a few things I found myself telling friends and loved ones yesterday after the election results came in. Mainly, that life isn’t a problem to be solved, it’s an adventure to live. It has ups and downs. It has enemies and friends. Sometimes obstacles and difficulties are put in your way to force you to grow. Sometimes what you thought was the ‘easy’ way results in complacency and stagnation. Sometimes, for every 2 steps you take forward there is a great force that pushes you back.
No matter what happens, all you ever have control over is how you react.
You write your own adventure story every day. How will you, the great and powerful protagonist, grow and evolve in this next chapter?
