“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

Key 45

2001

Despite the context of the title, this piece was intended to be a lush and flowing major key opus depicting a moment of peacefulness and gratitude. Like walking through a park on a beautiful autumn afternoon. I was painfully aware by this time that good things had a tendency to be overshadowed by bad things and my brain had unfortunately learned never to get too comfortable with anything lest it get taken away. But this piece was meant to capture that calm before the storm, so I could later recall it when things when went sour.

This was one of only two 2001-era tracks available which I was able to remaster in 2006.
