Track #2 - Mourning After
This song is about that moment when the sun comes up, reality strikes and you realize “what you thought this was” isn’t really “what it was” at all. You’ve wasted a part of yourself for nothing and to make matters worse, the person beside you can’t even see that you’re not “just anybody.” That combination of anger and shame led me to create something out of the feeling of being nothing.
I sang the melody and wrote the lyrics with no music. I even considered making it a cappella. However, once I started carving out a track, I was able to emphasize my words and keep it bare at the same time.
