Phone Call

"Leave the Light On" is a haunting indie/dream pop ballad that tenderly captures the essence of resilience and hope in the face of adversity. With ethereal melodies and poignant lyrics, the song serves as a comforting reminder to keep faith alive during life's darkest moments.
The evocative vocals gently plead with the listener to persevere, even when faced with uncertainty and despair. Each verse unfolds like a whispered confession, echoing the universal longing for better days ahead. As the music swells and cascades, layers of instrumentation create an atmospheric soundscape that envelops the listener in warmth and solace.

GRATITUDE - It's all about the music!

It took me some time to finish this tune, as I composed this almost a decade ago. For some reason, many other musical projects kept distracting me from investing the kind of time this tune, “GRATITUDE”, required and I believe deserved. 
But, I decided to not let it remain on the back burner any longer. 
I’m happy to say I finally got it done.

This tune is all about the gratitude I have towards everything that encompasses music. There’s gratitude simply for music existing in the first place. It’s my heartfelt tribute towards the art of music in all its forms. It is also just as much a tribute to ALL the musicians, from all walks of life, famous and not so famous... with some of course being highly influential and motivational for me on a personal level, all of which have been a source of inspiration in one way or another over the course of my life.

The essence of music is one of those big unanswered mysteries in the human experience. Why is it that we humans perceive the sounds of music in the way we do? No one has ever really come up with a plausible explanation, yet music remains as a special art form that has existed throughout modern civilization and has been expressed in countless ways. It’s pretty incredible… isn’t it?!

So, I conclude with the hopes that you will give a good listen to my tune “GRATITUDE”. 
After all this is a tribute to every one out there... whether you are a fellow musician, or the non-musician that simply loves to listen to music and one that embraces this wonderful and diverse art form.
