I’m so excited to share some new music with you all! It’s been a while since my last release.
This song is about when your heart feels one way, but your mind begins to question. It feels right in your body, but worries and fears creep in. It’s confusing and wonderful, and scary all at once.
It’s a breakthrough moment in which you realize that you’re the one holding yourself back - that love is just there waiting for you with open arms. All you have to do is open the door.
I wrote this song in a moment of clarity, while strumming on my guitar. I brought it to the studio of Kosta Galanopoulos, who laid down the drum groove, along with Marcus Buser on bass. I added my guitar solos and textures, and Priscilla Perry sprinkled in some piano and back up vocals (with Marcus in harmony). I experienced some studio magic moments working with Kosta and Marcus as my co-producers, like a car alarm that went off in perfect timing with the song, and inspired one of the piano arrangements. We recorded the song in one day, partially on reel-to-reel tape. The warm analog sound perfectly captures the groove and sultriness of this tune. It was mastered by Evan Mui at Weather Vane Sound. The video footage is by Maciek Jasik, edited by me.
Find it on all streaming platforms. Enjoy!
