PARLOR

​

This is a collection of songs from over the last 15 years; Songs that never made it onto an album but were solid and shared a common theme. So here it is.

​

THE THEME is, of course, the Parlor. It's about connecting with people through story and song. The album itself doesn't have any stories in it but it does have songs.

​

In general, the style of songs are folk/singer-songwriter, and the style of music is generally acoustic guitar and/or piano. There are a few songs with electric guitar and drums, one drum song played by my friend.

​

I KNOW that the album is a bit long, about an hour longer than people are used to. You can listen to the promo track/video to get a taste of what the different songs are like. I will break down the album structure so you could jump into what you like.

​

The first 10 tracks are about connecting and communicating with others cathartically.

​

(Catharsis - noun, [kuh-thahr-seez] 1. the purging of emotions or relieving of emotional tensions, especially through certain kinds of art, as tragedy or music.)

​

Tracks 11 to 15 are about those moments where we don't connect, when there's a break, when we thought everyone understood us and then we suddenly realize that they don't.

​

Tracks 16 to 24 deal with the working out of internal feelings and, despite the difficulties and past failures, to revive the desire to try to connect again.

​

I hope you enjoy this album as much as I had making it!
