Lyrics: 

I've been crying on my own shoulder
been drinking myself sober
trying to delete some time
cause I keep thinking about what I said last night
if what I said didn't come out right
story of my life

so my thoughts are gonna be the death of me 
filling up my stupid brain with jealousy
what if all my friends wanna get rid of me? 
turn it down, switch it off, cause I'm so sick of listening

WHY the HELL do I worry about worrying?
WHY the HELL am I stressing over everything?
as if it's gonna help?
It makes me miserable when I'm not in control
why do I care so much, why do I care at all?
oh I yeah I know, it doesn't help a single thing

I know it won't change a thing, worrying 'bout worrying

I've been tryna break myself open
to reset all of my emotions
kinda scared of what I'll find
and I keep apologising for the way I feel
but THE WAY I FEEL SHOULDN'T BE A BIG DEAL
oh just give it a rest cause I get more depressed when you say that I'll be fine

WHY the HELL do I worry about worrying?
WHY the HELL am I stressing over everything?
as if it's gonna help?
It makes me miserable when I'm not in control
why do I care so much, why do I care at all?
oh I yeah I know, it doesn't help a single thing

so my thoughts are gonna be the death of me 
filling up my stupid brain with jealousy
what if all my friends wanna get rid of me? 
turn it down, switch it off, cause I'm so sick of listening

WHY the HELL do I worry about worrying?
WHY the HELL am I stressing over everything?
as if it's gonna help?
It makes me miserable when I'm not in control
why do I care so much, why do I care at all?
oh I yeah I know, it doesn't help a single thing

I know it won't change a thing, worrying 'bout worrying
I know it won't change a thing, 
turn it down switch it off cause I'm so sick of listening

worrying (the demo)

Imagine

Imagine (Acoustic)

Utilising my own passion for choral vocalisation, textural harmonies and interest in the Fantasy genre, I wanted to create a piece that transported the listener into their imagination; taking them anywhere from an Elven realm, an enchanted hall under a mountain or an aviary nestled within the ruins of a cathedral. 

I wrote this track based on a dream I had of the latter, and visualised the scene when developing my soundscape. The opening sequence utilises foley I recorded around my family home (using a zoom recorder), including the birds, river, chime, door and footsteps. 

Combining these samples with carefully crafted reverb, dense textural harmonies and dynamic, fluid melodies, I built my own ethereal fantasy-ambient piece. 

I was inspired by Brian Eno’s “2/1- Remastered 2004,” from the album, ‘Ambient 1: Music For Airports (Remastered 2004), which I highly recommend checking out!

The unusual samples, timing and structure, combined with united vocal textures and my unconventional approach to ambient music, deliver a piece that hopefully conveys unbridled emotion, whilst retaining a sense of tranquility for the listener.
