Story Behind The Song

While writing my new album I found myself searching for new melodies for re-writes of some of my songs and this sound came out of that process.

Song Description

This song is a song about writing a song... after a horrible breakup, I knew I had my art, and I knew I loved music and writing songs, so I wrote this as an ode to that one place that will never break my heart - - the continual and forever search for the one perfect hum...

Song Length 3:00 Genre Pop - General
Tempo Medium (111 - 130) Mood In High Spirits
