(Before I get started, I know I haven't been the best about posting every single demo on noisetrade. I promise I'll get around this week to making sure all the songs are posted. I also think I'll just leave all the songs up on noisetrade till I hit my 40 song limit!)
I have a total obsession with nostalgia.
Maybe it's the whole only-child thing, but I spend an inordinate amount of time in my head, specifically in my memories. Most of the time, it's a bunch of "what if" scenarios that leave me wondering what could have been, had A, B, or C happened differently.
This song is about going to that place, but then ultimately finding that the mistakes we've made along the way, the missteps, have in fact made us who we are. And we wouldn't be as strong without them.
"Unraveled"
There are so many different lives I live inside my head
So many chances never taken, so many books I never read
I can count on my two hands, all the women I've made plans for
As they all fall through, I'm left wishing you had been my story
And so I'll dream of other "me"s that take the path less traveled
And memories they fade to hope of a life less unraveled than mine
The things we call mistakes, are the moments that will make us who we are
The hearts we think will break, are the hearts that time will take and make stronger
And if I don't see the world, if I don't meet a girl, or strike gold
How could I complain? Life is what you make of all the moments, when your heart feels cold
Bitter is the heart that never lets go
Holding on to ghosts
Strong and free is the heart that learns to make the most
