So, I've had a little exploration and I've found my music self again.
I remember when I used to play my darker indie acoustic style in London and a few people said, "Why don't you try something more light hearted, not so dark?" So I did. It was a good exploration.. but I've MISSED my darker side. It's not dark like "dooooom and gloom," it's just going to that place where a lot of people don't like to go. That's all.
Now, after a lot of music exploration I've found that those people that pull apart a particular song and tell me that it's "too dark" haven’t dealt with their emotions connected to that subject in the song. They don't let themselves go there. So they can't deal with the songs meaning. SO... they want to change it.
Well, this time around I'm going there and I'm not going to filter. I'm going to deliver what I've wanted to deliver for years... and I can't wait.
For the longest time I was afraid of what I saw in myself and my ability to write. I went to the places where I didn't want to go because they made me face what I wasn't wanting to face. So I refused to go there. Hence, the change in my music. After a crazy beginning of the year and some heavy life situations occurred I started to give myself more attention.
It's the difference between writing about "how I would like everything to be lovely and perfect and that it's going to be OK," to "I can't believe you betrayed me like that, now I'm fucking the love away that you left me with"
I began to love what I'd lost again. The true meaning of my style and my music. To make people go to that place they don't want to go to. The art of relations. Another human being relating to another. A shared meaning in life.
My vestibule is my message in my music. My heart beat. For a while it flatlined, now it's pumping like a trouper!
It's good to be back!
