I was cleaning out my room today (28-Jun-2023) and found my old Boss Loop Pedal; which was the one I most heavily used with my bass and guitar as a teenager. Earlier in the morning, my nephew Liam approached me to ask if I could give him my bass guitar, which I immediately agreed to. So this afternoon, when I found my Boss Loop Pedal, I decided to give it to him as well, since I haven't used it  likely since College and am unlikely to use it anytime soon.

In my excitement, and eagerness to demonstrate to him how it works, I overwrote one of the songs on track 2. The pedal has ~11 slots in which you can save loops in (although it's meant to accompany live instruments more); and as I attempted to demonstrate the mechanics of the pedal, I started playing the old tracks that I saved here; well over a decade ago - perhaps closer to twenty years now.

I then realised how close Liam is now to my age when I started recording, and now I feel excited and relieved that I gave this pedal to him. The years of adolescence go by fast, and impacts the rest of life - at least in my case, and I'm thankful that I managed to give this Pedal to him early in his teenage years.

I asked Liam if I could record all of these tracks first, before he overwrote them. As I listened to these tracks, I was reminded of the strong emotions I felt as a teenager, these emotions drove me to write these songs mostly in solitude. It is easy to discount these emotions as you grow older; and I am reminded now how little has changed. In my teenage years, I saw the pain / cries of children as arising from insignificant cause. Now, I recall the events which lead me to write these songs and discount them today as shallow.

How important it is to remind oneself to recognise emotional states and not make judgements; they tend to remain the way they are; in spite of attempts to control them or persuade someone or oneself to feel otherwise.
