Here is a tune for you by me. It’s entitled “The Calling”. Making this tune, I remember I was at a point in my life questioning my journey in music. My father is a bassist. My younger brother is also a music producer. I also have other members who play, perform, write, et al. I was really thinking (I think a lot. It’s damn near a fault sometimes) about how many are called to do something, but few are chosen. Have I been called to make music, but still, like many others who are hungry, are waiting for music to choose them? Was I really wasting my time after all? I get older by the second and waiting for a label (for example) to hear my work and decide to release some of my music seems all but a pipe dream. True, if you truly want something, you have to go after it and never give up; but when did giving up ever be such a bad thing. Often, you have to give up certain things to get to something greater.
Thoughts like these and others were really weighing on my mind that day. It was a very surreal time as I had conversations with myself, arriving at conclusions and new ideas. Thus the creation of this tune.
Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy it. It’s one of those works that’s very special to me as I can still remember the feelings and inner struggles that went into making this.Critique, comments always welcome.
Cheers.
