La Mer

This track started as a vision of a journey. For me it symbolizes the journey that I have started to reach my inner core. For someone else it may symbolize something else. That is the good thing about art in any form, it is the observer that decides what the art represent for them.

Journey To The Inner Core

Lyrics:

You've gone this far
Feeling awake, but caught up in your scars
Your heart is in a fragmented state, but wrapped up in my arms
Head start, feeling awake but left without your scarf
So cold, what's left in the wake of all of who we are

Caught in another avenue, transitioning from where you are to where you knew
I get lost in my head too, you're coming home but not a moment too soon
So blue, you -  keep chasing the lines, shading the memories out of view 
Blending hues, I'm - coming home but I'm a moment after you

You've gone this far
Feeling awake, but you've been caught up in your scars
False start, your heart, wanting to leap, but your feet keep you where you are
You've made this  far
It took so, so long
Being awake unaware of anything at all
You'd think you'd see the truth in all of what you do
Head start, false start, you must be cold without your scarf
Find your forward before you break off and depart

Caught in another avenue, transitioning from where you are to where you knew
I get lost in my head too, you're coming home but not a moment too soon
So blue, you -  keep chasing the lines, shading the memories out of view 
Blending hues, I'm - coming home but I'm a moment after you

You're cold, so cold -
Keeping you warm from the beating of my heart
Impart from the depth of it all, ahead of where you are

Caught in another avenue, transitioning from where you are to where you knew
I get lost in my head too, you're coming home but not a moment too soon
So blue, you -  keep chasing the lines, shading the memories out of view 
Blending hues, I'm - coming home but I'm a moment after you

You're gone, far gone -
Wandering deeper through your head
Gone far astray, getting closer to that place
You're gone, so gone 
Cultivated in your head
Getting enveloped in all of the words but never believing in what they said

PROGRAM NOTES

The title of this piece reflects the structure: many parts and motives are linked and looped together, forming chains. There are also missing links throughout the piece, spots where notes have been dropped out and placed in other parts of the piece or else lost entirely. The violin part is designed to be a showy and slightly virtuosic, coupled with a solid, ostinato-like marimba counterpart. Both parts utilize flashy, extended techniques.

The Day We Knew. 

These words can mean a lot of different things to people. It can come like a trumpet and without warning. There are days where we know we will make it. Then days where life does not work out. We must continue to move on towards our highest summits one step at a time, even if a different path up the mountain of our dreams.
