about

AB13_ALBUM_FEAR2018
BEHIND_THE_MUSIC

A reflection of events, people, mindsets, and myself over the last few years. I've kept a journal since September of 2017, and (most of) these tracks are about what I wrote in various entries, and how I felt during the times of writing them.

I experienced a lot of changes, and I tried to manifest my feelings as best as I could.

I present to you "FEAR."

Track Descriptions (Intros and Interludes excluded. BONUS CONTENT INCLUDED WITH EACH DOWNLOAD)

1) Hide
QUOTE FROM JOURNALENTRY_DEC232017
"I've become accustomed to hiding what I'm truly feeling. I don't want to talk about what's bothering me anymore. But when that one person or certain people will come into my life that I can wholeheartedly trust, it will all be worth it."

2) Autophobia
"An abnormal and persistent fear of loneliness, of being alone. A fear of solitude. Sufferers from autophobia may experience anxiety even though they realize that being alone does not threaten their well-being."

3) Feeling Alive
A song about negative and positive events that will take place in everyone's lives. Being alive means that your time here on earth will consist of many events, including devastating changes and amazing experiences. I find beauty in that.

4) Things Change, What Can We Do?
I released this song on a previous EP titled "The Changes," released in March of 2017 - This was a statement to myself at the time. I wrote, "Things come up unexpectedly, & when you don't want to - You can't control it, & I can't control it, & I need to learn that."
Over the last year and some months, I have experienced many more, and fortunately, I experienced great changes.
Change is inevitable, and sometimes change will work in your favor, sometimes it might not. Who knows what will happen?

5) Our Frame of Reference
A reflection of the times I spent with good people at a place back home in California. There was a spot in Temecula that people know as "Viewpoint." Also known as "The Lookout." Myself & once good friends had bonfires on an almost weekly basis at this one nearby wall, where you can see a fair portion of the city, from late December of 2016 to early-mid August of 2017. This spot is where most of the covers for my music comes from. Met many people there. Had many fun times. The one thing I miss most about Viewpoint is being at that place to escape reality.

6) My Toxins of Choice
This particular track has an interesting backstory - I started this while I was intoxicated, and only worked on it only while I was under the influence of something. It was like this for a while, until I restarted this project and it became what it is today.
This is a song about substance abuse, in the sense of using toxins to escape your problems. I've come to learn that it only makes things worse.
I quit smoking cigarettes this year. I haven't had one since January of 2018.

7) Pathetic
Previously featured on the Awake EP, released August, 2017. I originally started this song with the idea of "I feel pathetic." I wasn't in a good spot in life. Fortunately, I went out of my way to go and fix what's wrong as best I can - but the more I worked on this during production, the more I realized that everyone is pathetic in their own way, and we should try our best to look past our flaws. As I've said quite a few times now, I'm still learning this.

8) Felo-De-Se
Felo-De-Se - The Felon of The Self. "Suicide."
A rendition of a firsthand experience. If you or a loved one are experiencing suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

9) Fear
The title track of this album - this song is about overcoming the previous problems I have caused, endured, and explained throughout this entire release. We all have our flaws, but we should never let them consume us the way I did over the last few years.


If you've made it this far, thank you for your time.
