Love and Gratitude

A few minutes ago my mood was not quite at its best, but it only took a second to remember how grateful I am for all the love I have in my life, and for all the opportunities I’ve had. I’m back on track to start another sunny day, though I’m not excited about driving to work through the crazy traffic and construction in the city. Can’t have everything. 🙂

I’ve spent some time working on a new song idea over the past couple of days. It’s been a while, as I’ve been heavily focused on producing my second album, so it felt great to work on a new song. Looking forward to working on more new material over the next few months.

Deep Blue Stems Ready!

We finished creating all the stems for Deep Blue today. The song sounds really different from what I had envisioned when I first started writing it 20 years ago as a child, or even when I finished writing it a few months ago. I love the direction Robert’s given it. Only one more song left, and the album’s done!

Happy Lunar New Year, and for those who don’t celebrate it, I hope you have something else to celebrate today! 🙂

Elastic Heart

Really surprised I missed this song last year. Back during her downtempo (with Zero 7) and acid jazz days, Sia was one of my favourite artists. To this day, I have a deep admiration for her amazing song writing skills and her voice. I stopped listening to her music when Chandelier came out and dismissed the rest of the album outright without giving it much notice. I’m glad I found this one, even though it took me quite a while.
