Blur NOT FOR RELEASE

In 2001, at age 18, I was spending hours making this song in FruityLoops (now called FL Studio), with nothing but a computer (no keys or hardware). Soon after, 9/11 happened and it was a powerful time of shared pain and resolution. Then-President George W. Bush’s speech to Congress about how we would come together to address this challenge had some beautiful lines that I sampled and worked into this song. Though lots came after and it was messy, this song was never a statement about politics or even about 9/11, as you can see by the more abstract words I chose.
