Name: Farewell by Adam Butler
Duration: 8 min 35 s
Description: Very uplifting, cinematic, & anthemic. This was one of the first instrumental songs I wrote, and I knew I wanted it to be a closing track of sorts from the beginning. It just has "album closer" written all over it. This track, like some of my others, maintains a feeling of ascension and achievement throughout the track.

Ending of a movie. Melancholia with mixed feelings. This is beautiful.

Such a beautifully cinematic piece. Very well crafted.

"Places We Could Have Gone" was initially a piano sketch for my 2018 solo piano album Sanctuary Sessions. I recently revisited and recorded the idea in the same space, then further manipulated the recordings through my modular rig to add atmosphere. The track took on an incredibly nostalgic quality that made me reflect on the past year in lockdown and dream about all the new people and places that we might have missed out on during that time.

"Restive is about patterns of thought: the flow of words and the stream of consciousness within our minds. There is an underlying expression of a certain amount of turmoil, but also that of optimism as we juggle between concerns, variables and positive outcomes."

When Dusk Came Early

Drift into a daydream with the piano stylings of @jeroendirrix, floating along that boundary between the waking world and sleep. This joyful melody, so tastefully delayed through an analogue tape machine, washes away the stresses of the present while evoking better days ahead. This perfect blend of nostalgia is the dutch composer's entry in our 2021 Piano Day collection Splices.

@jacob_david's latest piece is out now, set to artwork by Jon Beacham / The Brother In Elysium. Jon did the cover and packaging for Jacob's record Mursejler, which just turned a year old! We're celebrating with this oh-so-sweet number inspired by a melody Jacob's brother played for him when they were kids. As you may have guessed... it's a special one.

LYRICS

quiet
my rest have been so quiet
past decades and centuries
reduced to a memory

steady
my body has left me
returned where i came to be
as earth took it back from me

like those who came before
or after me
fathers and sons alike
we’re all asleep

down under
our titles don’t matter
and I never lost faith in
we're destined to something

something that lasts and makes
everything new
to someone that knows my name
someone that’s true

roar of a trumpet as
bedrock erupts
I know the voice I hear
that call me back
call me back

I am
rising
up

you’re brighter
than the sun

Farewell

Adam Butler
