LISTEN: PARTICULARS - "Away"
PARTICULARS - Away.jpg

The last time I was determined and focused enough to sit down and compose (and record) new music was roughly this time last year, right after marathoning Season 1 of "Stranger Things." In anticipation of Season 2 of the show, I had been planning to write and record a new song inspired by the world of "Stranger Things." Fast forward to Thursday, October 26th and I had yet to really solidify anything. But, I can't stand setting goals and not fighting to achieve them. So, upon arriving home from work around 8:00pm to 12:00am October 27th, I wrote, recorded, mixed, and mastered the first true song I've composed in nearly 2 years (Last year's "The Echo of the Acrobat" was more a instrumental/soundtrack score-type piece). Far from perfect -- and a bit far from capturing any of the spirit of "Stranger Things" -- but stoked I reached my goal.

"Away"

A mouth to sort
A heart to mend
Strung out on the thought of this fiction
A flood of lust
A loss of truth
Drunk on equations that divide you

Away
Absence is the variable that you need
Away
I don't want to be the one that takes you

A mouth for truth
An ear for lies
Dressed in garments of a guise
Hearing what you see
Seeing what you hear
Blinded by idealist fears
