GRAVITATIONAL RELUCTANCE

Indie / Progressive / Electronica

 

NOTE: PROCEED WITH HEADPHONES! IT SOUNDS BETTER!!!

- So, first there is The Sun Sets, part I. The sound is very indicative of what listeners can expect from the rest of the album--albeit with the distinctive differences between songs (so you all won't have to listen to different iterations of the same theme for fifty minutes). As for the lyrics, essentially the song tells the story of a depressed, slightly-creative, slightly-average man; having lost his wife years ago, he's been throwing his life to the curb and purposefully ruining himself. And then, things change.

- The next piece, She Gave You ..., is a very dark song about an overbearing mother--something along the lines of the mother of the main character of The Wall. It's very similar to The Sun Sets, part I as far as composition goes, but features different lyrical styles and a more complex arrangement (in my opinion, of course).

- Following this, No Chords Will Play features the best chorus I have ever written, in terms of both lyrical impact and sound. This is certainly the more "emotional" side of my writing, but it's also a nice break from the sounds of the previous two songs.

- Finally, There's a Reason this Song has a One Word Title also provides a different sort of sound, as well as a drastically different approach to arrangement (there's no chorus!). I particularly like the intricacies that play out between the lyrics and the title, but that's just me :P
