THE JOURNEY Is about life’s paths that take us all different unexpected ways. It’s about choices we make, people that lift us up or tear us down & how we pivot. It’s about how we give back and how we gain perspective by focusing on priorities and true values that matter. It’s about learning about ourselves along the way and taking that personal journey but at the same time or because of our experiences seeing beyond ourselves and making a print on the world.
FLASHBACK This is about memories flashing before us in a dream or day- dream. It’s faces destinations, living in the moment, reflections, feeling warmth and smiles. Holding hands walking on the beach, playing with children, sitting with an older relative, a child that could be you walking a dog…
DANCER Was inspired by movement, fluidity, soft imagery, abstract visions. It’s the literal dancer showing self- expression and a metaphor about how we dance through life.
RAINING I love rain and storms. This is an anticipation of rain, sitting on the porch and hearing drops, ending with just some trickles. I think it’s that calming beautiful meditative feeling we get when we realize nature is not to be controlled but felt and internalized. DECEPTION My idea of a beginning title song for a sinister, double crossing, despicable series. But, one we still love because we are entertained by crazy, flawed characters that we can come to understand, pity and even identify a little with. Exp. Succession BOLD Just a good example of the dramatic way I like to play the piano. A building of emotion and melodic rollercoasters. I think there’s a theme of love but maybe it’s a dramatic love story or it’s literal pauses and starts and stops like relationships might be like. LAST GOODBYE Very visual, this song is about a break-up but they don’t want to leave each other. It’s not angry. It could be a montage of young lovers, a departure to serve in the military, a older couple experiencing a touching moment knowing that one will not be living too much longer, best childhood friends leaving each other, someone stepping onto a plane for a new life, … A little like Avril Lavigne’s “When Your Gone” video. TEQUILA This is a song that sort of summarizes what leads up to a high -speed chase. Could have been the tequila in Mexico, the heist or situation gone bad… running away from the bad guys like in Fast and Furious LEVITATION This one is again motion, melodic, optimistic, hopeful and a modern ethereal piece. Feelings of being lifted up, supported and loved. HOW YOU GONNA GET THERE The inspiration here was just the idea that we are all so much more alike in life and searching for that especially in each other’s eyes is what I was thinking about. We make come from different places and cultures, look different, hold ourselves differently but yet we are the same.
