🖤 A Darkwave  soundtrack about depression ... or as we call it, walking the Black Dog 
...
I hope, if you are walking the Black Dog, that your walk leads you to a place of strength and deeper understanding.
I hope that you can find that place,
The part, deep down and buried under all the expectations
That understands that
Pain
Is just another form of pressure
Turning you into a beautiful diamond
💎
And I hope your dog is friendly
And somewhat well trained
Mine was / is more of a werewolf
But I have learned to love it, all the same
🖤

"He owed his foresight of the horror that was to come to the visits of the black dog."
- Winston Churchill

Lyrics:
Standing, facing the firing line
Cold hearts without a care I find
Climbing, racing a ticking clock
Path blocked – can’t reach the mountaintop 
Yet again
Yet again
Yet again
Yet again and again and the sky grows dim
I am defeated again
I have retreated again
I am mistreated again
I have retreated again
Mind racing with endless thoughts
Distant memories of love and loss
Staring down at the firing line
No resolution and a truce declined
Yet again
Yet again
Yet again
Yet again and again and the sky grows dim
I am defeated again
I have retreated again
I am mistreated again
I have retreated again
I am defeated again
I have retreated again
Yet again


Yet Again

The Fall

Experimenting with descending and ascending patterns

How Do You Keep The Music Playing

I play the piano. Unless otherwise noted, everything is played and recorded on a Kawai ca99.


Once upon a time I programed, people called it hacking, I called it learning, I can still do it, but I prefer music, etc., 

The profile picture was taken when I was a teenager in the 1990s. I just liked the old washed out look of it. They were actual physical things back in the day. And phones had cords.

I started playing around age ~8-10 (who remembers, I know i started with the violin but moved on). Over the years I've had to re-teach myself the piano many times due to life getting in the way and not allowing me the time to work on it. The repetition of re-learning has helped with the style and technique I used to play here.

It's sort of like what happens when you learn multiple programming languages.. the syntax, etc., stop mattering as much and you just think about what you need.. works in music too I guess. :)
