Amarilli, lovely Amarilli
Believest thee not, oh my heart's sweet desire

Amarilli, Amarilli, Amaraillys
My sweetest love art thee

Artistic Accapella Rendition

Year Composed: 2011
Genre: RnB

Frank Ocean first released this song on his Tumblr for free in 2011. Frank has a way with words and his lyrics express deeper meanings than presented. This song one of my favorite songs, but is sung by a male so I composed my own version in order to better fit my voice.


Thinking Bout You (Cover)

Pianist: Shane Russel
Composer: Djhream Carter
Year Composed: 2015
Genre: Contemporary

This piece is what pieces the overall meaning of my album together. This was first drafted as a poem that explained the journey that I've went through while figuring out who I was as a person. The poem not only inspired the piece, but  evoked emotion conveyed by the melody. This song started a simple guitar chords I arranged on my iPad and expanded with work. I am not a pianist and could not do the piece justice. My good friend Shane is the showcased pianist on this song. The last minute of the song are alibis from the his soul  which adds to the overall beauty of the piece. 

I hope you enjoy this piece and you feel how I feel inside.
