Written in 2001, it's taken me 22 years to record this song. My 2023 addition are the lyrics to the bridge, with the usual arrangement embellishments occurring during recording, such as the bridge staccato piano and bass, and the 'hmmms' in the outro.
The song is about reflective, melancholy episodes, but while assuring the listener "don't worry about me". There's a slight turn of phrase in the final verse, acknowledging the positive effect that others can have.

While My Coffee Goes Cold

I've been a guitarist since the age of 15 and writing songs since then, albeit more prolifically since 2000. I prefer strong melodies and to borrow chords to move outside of the diatonic. Usually, the song mix contains my vocals, guitars and sometimes bass, with drums, keys and other instruments auto-generated. The tracks uploaded in my Soundcloud are attempts to 'illustrate' the idea and sound I imagined when writing the songs. At best, the quality of recordings are demo quality. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!

Thoughtful music to awaken, heal and inspire through simplicity and harmony....and no AI ever.
