This music was inspired by the recent premiere and CANNES 2023 OFFICIAL SELECTION:  CALIGULA: THE ULTIMATE CUT.  You can see the film September 24th at Fantastic Fest in Austin, TX and late September at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles, CA.

While this track is not in the movie, the instrumentation, sound palette and feel is directly inspired by the film.  

I composed the film score with a hybrid palette in mind, using organic instruments, percussion as well as found sound, audio manipulation and vintage analog synthesizers.   I was posed with the question - what would the score sound like if they composed it in 1979-1980 using the above sound palette with modern-listener and viewer sensibilities?

"Stay" is a deeply emotional and poignant song that touches the heart with its raw honesty and vulnerability. This soul-stirring track navigates the complex journey of grief and longing, following the loss of a loved one. With a blend of melancholic melodies and heartfelt lyrics, "Stay" resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of separation. The song masterfully captures the essence of wanting more time with someone who has departed too soon. Its lyrics, "Oh, away, away, Today you flew away," and "I know you were in pain, so much pain every day," reflect a profound understanding of loss and the human condition. The chorus, "I wanted you to stay, to stay," echoes the universal desire to hold onto those we love. "Stay" is not just a song but a therapeutic embrace for those in mourning, offering a sense of solace and understanding in times of sorrow. The song's introspective nature and the authentic expression make it a remarkable piece that's likely to leave a lasting impact on its listeners.

LYRICS:

As long as it rains London
As long as it pours flood
As long as you are with me
As long as we're not done

The morning comes out early
With Sunday morning sun
Love fresh taste of my coffee
It make's me happy

We are together
(We are we are we are)
Stronger than any taken oath
We are together
(We are)
Born to be loving kind of soul
We are together
(We are we are we are)
Longer than any driven road 
We are together
(Together)
Cut from a different kind of cloth

Sometimes the path gets bumpy
Your plans they just won't run
Difficult roads are empty
And easy roads ain't fun

If love was made so simple
Why don't we find someone
Take a look see around us
A million broken ones

We are together
(We are we are we are)
Stronger than any taken oath
We are together
(We are)
Born to be loving kind of soul
We are together
(We are we are we are)
Longer than any driven road 
We are together
(Together)
Cut from a different kind of cloth
