Another One - Audio

---

Four score and seven months ago (roughly translated to about two years ago) I was in a band called Andolino with @yumyumseth and a few other gents, and I loved traveling around playing music with my friends. I also used to run a small recording studio in my basement where I would record tons of songs. Mostly I would record myself, but recorded numerous bands and singer/songwriters as well. In fact, I recorded an EP for @danieldyemusic down there a few moons ago. I had the benefit of living with a few other musicians so we had the full setup. Drums, multiple guitar amps, bass amps, lots of microphones etc etc. Despite being in a basement with low ceilings, it was about as much as I could ask for.

As aforementioned, I recorded a ton of stuff myself. I really never did it to release into the public, but more as a way to create something just for the fact that it was fun. I didn’t have to worry about other people or what they would think, which made it really fun. I now live in a small apartment, so I can’t set up a studio area for very long nor do I think my neighbors would appreciate any loud noises like my squawking. I never really planned to release my personal music into the world, but a few years ago I found a subreddit that was based off of critiquing other redditors music, so I decided to submit a few songs. I was really surprised that some people actually enjoyed a few of the songs, which was more than I really expected. I then released a few of my favorite songs on Soundcloud, but never publicized it anywhere other than that subreddit. All of this to say, I miss playing music. I look forward to the day when I can have access to a place where I can set up a recording area to record random things I think of, or when a friend wants to record music every now and then. I especially hope it can be in the comfort of my own place.

Anyways, this is one of my personal favorite songs that I’ve done, and at the behest of @yumyumseth I’ll at least share this song. This song was made years ago after someone close to me went through a divorce. It was one of the first times that I had been directly affected by a divorce, and honestly, I was really disappointed and pissed off. I never really had to deal with that so close to home before, and it hurt. It felt like they just gave up after a few years, too lazy to actually try (which wasn’t necessarily the case). Obviously, I’m not going to get into specifics, but that’s what it felt like to me on the outside.

Truthfully though, it was a big growing step for me. Sure it sucks, it’s terrible, but so is a suffocating relationship. Fast-forward a few years, and the person close to me is much happier, and seems to be enjoying life much more than those years before. This isn’t in any way advocating separation from an SO, but simply put I’m happy for him now. I’m happy he’s happy now. I’m happy he made it out to the other side, and is able to be himself again. And I’m happy he’s taking chances again.

And hey, here's to taking chances to things I've shared with only a few people in my life. I hope you enjoy.

Another One

It started out in Fall, under the October sky
We took our hearts, and put them to use
Life was there, and it was then. Though the words we didn’t say [would come out anyway]

We will love each other ‘til, ‘til our love runs cold
I will love you ‘til another comes in to my sights
Our home was always just a house anyway
We will not forget each other, we still have the scars

The start was worthy, but the journey was rot
We learned to synthesize ‘til our hearts were shot
Maybe a little work, maybe a little wait [maybe]
We could have saved this thing, but there’s no way a sunken ship could float on all right

We will love each other ‘til, ‘til our love runs cold
I will love you ‘til another comes in to my sights
We took our vows and we honored them for six long years
We will not forget each other, we still have the scars

Was our promise to each other
Just a substitute for sex and security?
