Album Theme: Losing It All. Listen to Midland Mendota, Through The Words, Coping Mechanisms and The Velvet Shadows. Skin on skin, cut to the bone. Gentle wind through an empty meadow. The lonely swing back and forth. Clear skies fill with dark clouds about to storm. They say that's when it's never been more calm. It sails in over our heads. It's coming down right over our heads. I will hold your hand. As all the bomb debris blows past. I will hold your hand. How ever long we both shall last.

Minds And Music
Midland Mendota
Two people, like rivers, flowing together into one. Our lives intertwined, can we stay together. In our breakthroughs and breakdowns, I want to be the one for you. Washed-out acoustic guitar and synth pads, together with electric guitar picking and a subtle beat, build slowly into an upbeat vocal refrain.

Sworn To Remember
Insomnia, regret, loneliness. When the nights are darkest, you've never felt more alone. And yet, we are never alone. If we can only hold fast to love, we can make it through. A gently picked acoustic guitar and nostalgic male vocal, backed by a soft synth pad, piano and subtle beat, building to an emotional climax.
2:23 · 116 BPM
Through The Words
Drowning in isolation, head filled with lies. Sometimes we just need to be reminded that everything will be okay. A steady piano ushers in a heartfelt male vocal, backed by synth pads, reverse sound design and strings, before a picked acoustic guitar and subtle percussion enter to provide more movement in the second half.
2:38 · 118 BPM
Till I Feel Undone
Enveloped by emotion, with nowhere to run, I embrace it all, until I am completely undone. A simple acoustic guitar with distant, dreamlike pads, electric guitars and sound design, supporting a pensive male vocal, bass guitar, piano and subtle beat, complete with gentle tambourine and shaker.
2:34 · 84 BPM
Didn't Feel Like Hurting
Brushing over memories in your mind, gently you try to push them aside, the ones that hurt the most. Melancholic acoustic guitar, delicate piano, subtle pads, heartfelt strings and shimmering reverse sound effects set the tone for an emotional, echoing male vocal and gentle backbeat.
2:27 · 85 BPM
Face To Face
Standing before you, my dream, my hope, my love. Can we move past all that has been said and done and love each other again. A thoughtful acoustic guitar, delicate piano and drifting flute-like pads, together with a gentle but insistent beat, fall into a more rhythmic section with washed-out wordless vocals and toy-like octave synth, before falling out again into sparse guitar strumming.
2:28 · 80 BPM
Coping Mechanisms
The irony is that there's nothing left to do, yet there is nothing you wouldn't do, to get back the love of your life. Slow and steady acoustic guitar picking, ethereal pads and shimmering sound design support a vulnerable male vocal, leading into a more emotional chorus section with a subtle beat and faraway electric guitar.
2:37 · 120 BPM
Softy Sweet And Still
Deep in the recesses of my mind, we are still there. Innocent lovers on swings in the park, before the bomb went off, tearing our world apart. Gentle acoustic guitar and vibrating, slightly distorted pads, together with an intimate male vocal, subtle piano, emotional strings and shimmering sound design. Leads into a more expansive chorus section in the second half.
2:34 · 78 BPM
The Tide Brings New Hope
Traversing the turbulent waves of my voyage to get to you again, I will sail on. A bittersweet acoustic guitar, tender piano, warm bass and shimmering pads support a hopeful and emotional male vocal, joined later by a steady beat and distant electric guitar building to a triumphant release.
2:24 · 118 BPM
We Made It This Far
So far have we come, please don't say it was all for nothing. Don't give up. Don't let go. I believe in us. An intimate acoustic guitar plays over a bed of ethereal pads and blurry background ambience, punctuated by a sparse electric guitar. A gentle, steady beat and wordless vocal echoes add more emotion and movement.
2:15 · 89 BPM
The Velvet Shadows
Losing love, capsized by waves of despair, you are pulled down. Exposed and crushed by anguish and vulnerability, will it ever cease. A bittersweet acoustic guitar, chilly pads, a delicate piano and a sad, vulnerable male vocal, held together by heartfelt strings, a subtle beat and bass guitar.
2:44 · 82 BPM
To Always Feel
Flying through an eternal expanse of time and space, amid reverberating echoes of love, we insignificantly drift on. Maybe that's all this is, although, perhaps we truly are more than mere passengers. Hopeful acoustic guitar over a bed of shimmering pads and emotional piano, supporting an optimistic male vocal. A steady beat, electric bass and distant electric guitars add more depth in the second half.
