BlindScape Theme

This is my first pop cover, from earlier this year. I wanted to try something completely different this time - I wanted to cover a pop song I really loved. And that's when I thought: Keane! It's perfect for my style of music.

So I decided to look for inspiration, which I immediately found in the gorgeous, cinematic feel of Lana del Rey and Son Lux. The rest was adding that special "Rozen" touch -- a mesmerizing ambience that helps the listener to get immersed in the song.

I was lucky enough to find a vocalist the second I thought about arranging this track. This was actually the only track we both had as a common choice in a list we sent each other, with possible cover candidates. 

Pamy Lozano is a vocalist that sings in my church choir, so it was a good opportunity for her to show the world what she could do. Her light and soothing voice made it just the right choice to sing this cinematic ballad.

So, I want to dedicate this cover to the great band Keane for making one of my all-time favorite tracks, and to all their fans out there who are looking to hear a different exploration of this beautiful composition. Special dedication to my lovely and very talented fiancé, who always inspires me to become a better musician. This particular song reminds me of her, so you can be sure my whole heart was poured out through the song.
