It's a very simple track in every aspect and has a copious amount of imperfections but it's part of what makes this song so charming to me.. What I like about it, is for me it provokes deep thinking yet it's almost childlike in how simple and plain it really is. I hope you enjoy, thank you for listening

Conversation With Myself

I've been thinking a lot lately about what the future is going to be like, there are big changes rapidly approaching that I am both excited for and scared about. So I grabbed my guitar and tried to capture these feelings. With deep echoing melancholy sounding chords and an uplifting lead I felt like I was able to express all the different emotions going around. The night before I started this song I was listening to a talk that Jim Carrey gave about chasing our dreams and choosing love over fear and I couldn't help but feel like it would go hand in hand with the song. After I tied it in and listened to it, it just felt so much more whole and I am very proud of this track. I hope you can enjoy it as much as I do.

The Meaning

The idea for calling it The Pursuit came from challenging myself to try something different, I had this idea to make a song that had a an honest and kind of melancholy sound but with a youthful perspective if that makes sense. The piano creates a mellow and rather sad feeling, but the synth and lead guitar feel give it a sense of optimism amidst it all. 

The Pursuit

I was digging through my ipad recently and listened to some of my very first recordings on there, one of the songs was incomplete but I could tell by the way the song was I was very into the chords and it's progression. So I re learned it and added a few extra layers, and included some lines from a TED Talk I was listening to the day before. The title and picture fit so perfectly because I love to imagine what it would be like just drifting through space with only my guitar and just seeing what lies out there. Thank you for listening, and I hope you enjoy.


Drifting

Tabula Rasa

This was so fun to write, if you know me I've explained where the song came from... It's been a few years since I wrote an instrumental track like this one in the same frame of mind and approach as I used to back in AZ. But the events that transpired this particular day had me feeling that same kinda blue.. found a drum loop, set up one Cascade ribbon mic and an SM57 and recorded all the instruments in one take all the way through.. I thought of it as a sort of love letter. Wanted to wear my heart on my sleeve, mistakes and all. Speak from the heart. Knowing where I want to go, but not quite how to get there. I do hope you enjoy
