The Curve Is the Point

There’s a moment in every story, every relationship, every year! every life, when the road doesn’t break, it bends. The line you thought you were following veers off, smooth sudden like an intrusive thought.

That’s what Curve is.

Not collapse, explosion, some overdramatic undoing. Just, eff…. the subtle derailment of expectation. A shift. A curve.

We tend to worship straight lines.

Progress. Logic. “Moving forward.” But life rarely moves forward cleanly. And in a way, I feel sorry for and admire those who make that happen) But for me at least, in my experience, Life loops. It arcs. It spirals when we need it to climb. And in those moments, when you’re not sure what direction you’re headed, only that you’re still in motion, you discover something fragile and important, you are still becoming. How was THAT for a run-on. wow

The track began by complete fucking -but not- accident, (if you know…) on a night when the silence was a little too loud/just right? I wasn’t trying to write anything. I was just following a feeling, a direction. And somewhere between the I? (hah, now that’s a question) found that area i needed to explore, dig into, and perhaps disturb a few unwanted feelings and memories that only music can exorcise,

oh yes it;s also, the ache of not knowing who you are, or if you know anything or just might simply be crazy….but still choosing to make ‘beautiful pain’ (thank you snoop).

Sonically, Curve is a nod to the artists who raised me: Depeche Mode, New Order, Ultravox, Erasure. The original architects of emotional movement music. Their sounds were blueprints for dancing through uncertainty, for holding your breath in a crowded room and calling it rhythm.

And now here we are again.

This track isn’t a solution. It doesn’t resolve. It’s not meant to. It’s a pulse. A question mark in 4/4 time. A soft, glowing shape in the fog. It’s for you. For us.

If it finds you in a moment when things are shifting, I hope it keeps you company.
If you’re in the curve, be patient. That is the story.

We don’t break here.
We bend. Right?

Thank you and you’ll -probably- like Call Your Name and Out of Place

Lyrics

can i be here in the 

^summer rain

let tomorow’s worries and yesterday’s shame

dissipate and float into the sky

cause,

this moment with you is amazing 

i’ll need to relearn everything

well 

can i leave behind the fear and pain

we’ll hold each other as we revisit love again

i dance with your slhouette in the fading light

my only wish is that i had more 

time

i can’t believe that life is changing

what is this? another curve?

what else can i do to save me?

i guess im glad there’s more to learn

i’ll need to relearn everything

now i know my life is always changing

can i keep up with the twists and turns

why is having faith in you never easy?

but stay with me so i can learn

i can’t do it alone

i can’t do it in silence

who gave us 4/4 ryhthm

you know

im not an island

i’ll need to relearn everything

i can’t believe that life is changing

what is this 

another curve

what else can i do to save me

i guess im glad there’s more to learn

i’ll need to relearn everything

now i know my life is always changing

can i keep up with the twists and turns

why is having faith in you never easy

but stay with me so i can learn

ill be ^ happy

 in the ^summer rain

i think i’ll give up worriy 

or feeling shame

i think i’ll dance until the morning light

until i ever have to say 

goodbye.
