Name: Last Year
Duration: P00H02M23S
Description: The use of clashing tonalities seeks to represent the pain that is felt when human communication doesn’t sustain intimacy. There are local releases where dissonance becomes consonance, but overall I wanted to explore how a melody and its harmony can be far removed to create a melancholic mood.

lyrics

I feel
your lips and tears
on my lips
oh you are such a child
pretty soul
oh you can tell how sad
I am for hurting you
there is
no thing that I can do now
to make you love me
the same
as what
you did
before all this
and before all this stuff
went wrong
last year
_
I owe you an explanation
for all of my behaviors
and strange things I did
_
I wanted to run
and to be strong for you
but I was strong
only in the walls
I put between us

only in the walls
I put between us

They are somewhere outside going for a walk and are openly and sometimes emotionally talking to each other. Fortunately they've recorded this moment for those who are interested. freejazzy
