 “Love Museum”

This song came from imagining a future where there is no love, but there is a memory of it. People have preserved the concept of it in museums. I imagine walking the hall of the Natural History Museum and seeing an dusty exhibit entitled :Love, Myth or History? Displayed in it works of Shakespeare, recordings of Beatles songs, Artwork, Boxes of chocolates even, and most importantly a shape of a heart. But maybe in this future there would be a few individuals left who felt a felt stirring within them, and they might wonder it still exists in any one else around them. 

“To: Winston From: Julia, I Love You”

I had just read the George Orwell novel 1984, and I knew Matthew Bellamy (of MUSE) had written a song about it but I had not heard his song yet. I really was inspired by the book, especially the character Julia. I did not want to accidently write a song that would be lyrically similar to Matthew’s so I wrote about a moment that was not in the book. It was the moment Julia was writing the note to Winston. I imagine her sitting there, in the chorus I say a few things perhaps she might have written instead, but in the end She wrote: I Love You, three words so powerful, and so dangerous in their world.

“Moon”

Moon is once again an unrequited love song. But it is the ultimate example I could imagine. What if the Moon loved the Sun, it could do nothing about it. But it could live for the few moments there paths crossed, at such a distance the Sun would not even know the Moon was there, and be happy with that. 

“Monsanto’s Lullaby”

This song is a result of watching the documentary ‘Unnatural Selection”. It is an eye opening story about the genetically engineered food you are probably already eating, and that will someday possibly be the only food growing on our planet. So I imagined a mother singing a lullaby to perhaps the last child born on earth, and the song came together verse by verse.

The rest of the songs are coming together, slowly one at a time. I seem to be drawn to the piano lately. And I am trying to find some “upbeat” chords to play. I have decided to add some instrumental works as well, stay tuned :)
