Exitmusic: Passage ('12)
Nashville, Tennessee 2004: 2 hits of super clean lsd, neon, candles, and flowers everywhere, I spent a lifetime lost inside someone else's soul one night in July. Ten years later at 5:00 am on a
Tuesday a "recommended" Spotify click sent me back to the future. What I mean by that is during this 5 minute and 40 second long journey, I had the most vivid memory I think I have ever experienced in my life. I wish I could say I was being dramatic, and writing that just for the sake of sounding cool, but I am not, those
are my deepest feelings. And every sense I had that evening back in 2004 hit me like a ton of bricks. Overwhelming happiness, laughter, the feel of skin on skin, teeth on flesh, anticipation, joy, sadness, loss, peace,and the feeling of being completely stripped bare in front of someone else and it being
ok! Is the only real peace in this life I have ever known to be truthful with you. To know someone else, and have them know me. Introverts, no matter how introverted still desire to be seen by others, just not by the masses but by the right few. Songs can embody heaven, heaven can be felt through a connection with someone, and music can connect you to someone, even when they are gone.
Passage is perfectly tailored to the dream pop lover, the shoegaze fanatic, and the hopeless romantic that I know is in there, even if you don't admit it
I have a thing for the wall of sound, and the build up to it. I have a thing for shaky vocals. But what the hell do I know anyway right? I just know how music makes me feel, I know the experiences that have impacted and shaped me for the better, and I know a memory with a soundtrack is better then a silent one. So my darlings I leave you with Exitmusic.....
