On Many Waters
When creating Many Waters I found my self in an ocean of emotions. I read, I watched, and I experienced many emotions. This is a path I can not recommend anyone to follow. This emotions, yet predominantly darkness. Yet in musical terms it there is a sort of warmth. This path of darkness was not one I originally anticipated, and yet like shadows on a sunny day they came. So in Many Water I meditated on the human emotions of deep sadness, grief, fear, pain, and yes even some joy. Yet I seemed to dive deeper into darkness, however joy is what I should have been diving into.
So what is Many Waters?
A meditation on human emotions.
Like I stated above I read, I watched. I took inspiration from books, from films and from personal experience. The main theme is emotions, yet there is a driving factor of looking to God as the only hope to escape the dark, deep waters of are many emotions.
Psalms 18:16: He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
A large inspiration for the album title came from the Psalm above. My hope for the album is to shine some light into the many dark places of are emotions.
