Resensitize

"This song is a philosophical autobiographical narrative. I try to live thoughtfully, as a rule. I try to be fair and honest and kind as I move through life, making mistakes occasionally, because no one can know everything. I accept this. As a realist and someone who is always trying, I expect this. I don't like missing the mark, but I learn and grow from it when I do. 

​

I wrote this song in three distinct parts/voices. The piano does not play chords but a single line, the bass also plays a single line, and the voice has the third line. Together they weave single lines like trains of thought, representing simple, stripped-down, authenticity. I wrote only what was essential to tell the story as a form of directness, clarity, and my own sense of musical eloquence."
