Sept 13 - From Whence We Came
🕑 Added 2023-09-14 15:33:12 +0000 UTCThis week I am out of town with my girlfriend visiting our university campuses together. Many of you know I went to Virginia Tech and I haven't been back since I graduated. The campus is beautiful and during my time here I went through a lot, both personally (as we all do during university) and I was here in 2007 when the shooting happened. Needless to say, this is a very important place to me.
This idea is simple because I haven't had much time to write, but the chord progression reflects a lot complex emotions: melancholy, change, challenge, reflective, sad, happy, proud, and more. It doesn't necessarily fit in with any of the themes for Sept/Oct but I thought it would be okay during my trip.
I'm not sure that I'll finish this but the idea is a snapshot of emotions at the moment. University was so long ago for me - another lifetime, really. I knew none of you, but it was the beginning of what Approaching Nirvana would become. I feel so removed, yet so connected...
Anyhow, what do you think? - Is this idea strong enough to finish? Is this simple sketch of my emotions at the time something you'd like to see more of? Let me know in the comments!

As always, thank you for supporting me. Revisiting some of my past reinforces how appreciative I am of the present and gives me hope for the future.
I'm out of town through the weekend, so no stream on Friday, but House of Mirrors goes up on YouTube Saturday morning. Oh and don't forget to get your vote in on the Merch Poll! Have a great weekend and I'll see you on stream next week!
