about
Late in 2020, after months of being creatively stifled, I sensed that the world was turning the corner towards a brighter day. I found my inspiration, and my “pandemic project” became Shadow of a Shadow, a solo studio album that I wrote, recorded, and produced at home on my own. It follows my journey from frustration and pessimism to inspiration, optimism, and unlocked creativity.
“Yesterday Never Arrives” is the lead single. It recalls that moment where I began to look past the dark times in 2020 that the world was stuck in. I realized that I could let go of the moment, quit obsessing about the present state, and move on.
lyrics
Searching but I'll never find
I wonder why I waste my time
Then I find
There's never been a better
Better time than never
Hoping for some peace of mind
Our present state is not inclined
Then I find
If I hold on to the present
Yesterday will never arrive
Yesterday never arrives
Arrive
Yesterday never arrives
Arrive
Evidently lost in time
Soon I'm gonna make it mine though
It defines you
The essence of a person is
Wrapped up in diversions
We're all racing for the prize
Soon we're going to realize
No surprises
If we hold on to the present
Yesterday will never arrive
Yesterday never arrives
Arrive
Yesterday never arrives
Arrive
Yesterday never arrives
Yesterday never arrives
If we hold on to the present
Yesterday will never arrive, arrive
If we hold on to the present
Yesterday will never arrive, arrive
If we hold on to the present
Yesterday will never arrive, arrive
If we hold on to the present
Yesterday will never arrive, arrive
