Behind the song

Autumn 14 was originally written in August 2017 while sitting at home during a rainy night. The descending chords really hit home for what I was feeling at that moment so I found my emotions really bleeding into the song.


It went through lots of different versions with attempts of getting vocals on it. I had the pleasure of working with some extremely talented vocalists but in the end, I felt like singing something myself would mean more to me. I wrote the lyrics a year later in 2018 about the sense of longing for something that was gone.


I hope you get comfortable with a coffee or tea on a rainy day and listen to this song the way it was intended to be heard.


Also, regardless of what the lyrics say, Autumn is still my favourite season.

Lyrics

Autumn was my favourite season

The rain, the leaves and the colours too

Until the night that you went out, it all changed

You passed away, my heart did too


Now this alcohol

Is a vice of mine

And it always lights my fuse


I’m a ticking bomb

Ticking down

And I’m counting down the hours

Waiting till December comes

The making of

The view from my first apartment
