Tell us something about your track Phantom pains!
Phantom Pains is intentionally sparse and melancholy. I typically write a lot more notes in my music, but this piece felt right with much less. Oftentimes after a loss, people can briefly forget that the person isn’t there and it feels like they still should be. It’s like the phantom pains of a person who has experienced the tragic loss of a limb. It should be there and it feels like it is, but it isn’t. Those were the thoughts swirling around my head when I wrote this.
Thank you very much for sharing this with me Merrill!
