The record was conceived in 60 days during the pandemic lock-down in New York. The idea was to write and record a song a day. When I wrote the song "Path", intuitively set the tone for what the rest of the album was going to be and sound like: steady drum beats, lush string arrangements, and deep soften vocals. I came up with the main riff for the song and it sounded so familiar to me that I was convinced I was copying a classic song but I could not find it, maybe you know. Hopefully not.
lyrics
I let thoughts run through my head
Was it a struggle or was there some joy?
I want to cut all out, keep it away
It’s growing inside me this unbearable thing.
I hear you calling my name
Night crawling in with all the shame.
I step outside to catch a breath
The shining stars light up the path.
I haven’t left but want to see you again
Like a summer breeze in the evening light.
I want to hold you tight with my heavy arms.
Roads are closing in, and I have to say goodbye.
Superb use of very old recorded music samples. It all sounds new to me the way Susumu arranged it on this album. Strings are incredible on here as well. High Pines
