“Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It’s transporting, for sure. It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It’s uplifting, it’s encouraging, it’s strengthening.” — Aretha Franklin

2001

A decidedly morose title for a song, but based on true events.

I borrowed a guitar sample from a popular song and a drum loop from another and based this track around them. DJ Shadow was once again channeled for this, but I think I made it my own. The song has hyper-stretched vocals which were sung by my girlfriend at the time and which were intended for an entirely different song which she wrote (that never happened).
