Wondering

Wondering dives into the complicated aftermath of love and desire. About a year after a slow, painful breakup during the COVID years, I found myself in a forbidden and intensely passionate relationship — with someone I never thought I would. This song explores the questions, doubts, and curiosity that come with crossing societal and conventional boundaries, and reflects on where a relationship like this might lead. Four years in, I’m still wondering — about love, life, and what’s next.

Hunted

Hunted dives into the intoxicating game of desire and the subtle dance of power in modern relationships. With sharp, sensual imagery and playful yet dark humor, the song explores the push-and-pull of attraction, consent, and pursuit — questioning why we chase, why we flee, and why we sometimes lie to keep the game alive. Equal parts confession and performance, Hunted captures the thrill, tension, and complexity of intimacy through vivid lyrics and hypnotic rhythm.

Gone

Gone is a smoky, narrative-driven track inspired by fleeting connections and the bittersweet pull of nostalgia. Written in July 2024 as a nod to Morphine, it tells a story of chance encounters, missed opportunities, and the tension between youthful curiosity and grown-up hesitation. The closing sax solo includes a subtle homage to Dana Colley’s iconic work on Head With Wings, weaving musical homage into a tale of whiskey, wine, and the moments that slip through your fingers. It’s a song about choosing your own path, embracing originality, and getting lost in the music of the moment.

I Knew

I Knew began in 2011 with a different melody and chord structure, but in 2016, a chance experiment with a looper at an airport gig revealed the layered, arpeggiated arrangement that now brings the lyrics to life. At first, the song feels like a heartfelt, intimate love story—full of playful encounters and tender memories—but by the final chorus, it unfolds into a lament, revealing the bittersweet truth beneath the romance. It’s a song about knowing love and loss, and the moments that linger long after.
