This blog is about sharing the incredible process of creating music with people. You will find snapshots of my experience as a developing artist as well as the work of those who have inspired me along the way.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I figured I’d share this… “The Price” is the first song of my upcoming album ” A New Kind Of Blue” due early September.
I wrote this song a few years back while taking a psych course in McGill called interpersonal relations. I was reviewing in the library for the final and as I flipped the pages of the book ideas for this baby flourished. I penned the lyrics and had the uncontrollable urge to go home and finish the music. The Result? a solid B- in the class but also my first recording.
The Price talks about the effect long-term relationships have in our individual identities. When we start a relationship we have a very clear idea of who we are, what we like, what we believe in and what we enjoy doing. But as we submerge ourselves in the relationship, our idiosyncrasies start slowly fusing with those of our significant other. One day, we start talking like them, liking the things they like, seeing life in a very similar perspective. In other words we start sharing our identity, and that I believe is a truly powerful occurrence.
This song asks if identity the price of falling in-love. Enjoy!
