This album was assembled as a presentation of the best music I created in high-school.

For me, it marks a shift in how I made music as I started to figure out my sound.

This was also the point where I started to shy away from using my voice in music as you can tell from the songs that previously had lyrics now having them removed. I felt less comfortable with my skill level in writing and decided to avoid it for the most part going forward.

Looking Back – Album

Looking Back

No more time for struggling

Behind us is the past

There we see the dreams and things

That never came to pass

When we look behind us seeing all the

Things we lost on our way

Then we’ll start to understand

The price we had to pay

In this release, I felt much more confident in my voice, so I decided to feature it more prominently. I felt less confident when I originally released this song, I used more effects on my vocals and pushed them back into the mix. I will post that version eventually and link it here.
