To The Stars We Return

This has to be the longest I've gone without making music. After my mom's passing I had to step away from it for a bit.

My mom loved my music, and while she was in her coma, the nurses would put my albums on for her in case she could hear it. A lot of my music these days are connected to those moments, and it's been very hard for me to find that passion to start writing again.

Grief is a very hard thing to navigate. Sometimes you feel ok and others completely overwhelmed. My mind has been a bit to scattered to really focus, and my heart just hasn't been in it.

I've always promised myself I would only make music when that love and passion is there. For the last 6 months, it hasn't been.

I've really enjoyed listening to music, and finding an escape in that, but the thought of creating an album seemed like such a monumental task through all of this.

Lonely Astronaut Chapter 3 was meant to be an album about endings, but that topic now hits a bit too close to home. As sad as my music my seem to some, it actually brings me a lot of joy and the sadness within it is always meant to have this underlying beauty and hope. The topic of endings for me right now, would just be dark and dreary and that's not something that makes me feel good.

I'm lucky in a sense that I don't have fans sitting around wondering where my next album is. I know that's a weird thing to say... "I don't have any fans", but even if I do, no one is sitting there upset that I haven't made another album yet. So really, there's no rush or sense of urgency.

I think the first thing I need to do is find that passion and that spark again. Once that is ignited, I can then decide how I want to move forward. My life has changed a lot since my mom died, and a lot of questions have been stirring around in my head. I guess we will see what the future holds.
