Something More

Looking back at a could-have-been romance where I didn't make a move, I couldn't help but wonder - were we really just friends, or was there something more between us?

Based on Harris's remix of I Loved You, this is essentially a lyric version of the original instrumental, borrowing phrases from its shelved lyrics and several musical elements from its score.

I managed to write in two of my signature elements - French lyrics and a recorder part. Harris added an 80s flair to the track with his signature polished synths.

Friendship and Love

Being friends with her was far more rewarding than being in love with her. Maybe love shouldn't be the end goal?

I turned this idea into an almost uplifting acoustic song. It was also my biggest collab yet - Matthew created folk vibes with the violin while Juan and Samuel (from Peru and Finland) added breadth to the backing vocals.

Feàrn filled in the rest, tying it all together to fulfill my vision for the last song focused on this story, the end of the first era of my music.
