piano ditty today. made a beat and just jammed over it! I recommend this as a writing method for solooooo folk (who wish they were in bands). keeps the pace up.. something to bounce around. stops me overplaying, too?

hey SDC! here is your november demo : )
it's been a super up-and-down couple of weeks in my head so that's for sure distilled that in this demo. I've been pensive, all at once stuck in the past and hopeful for the future! this song is a classic tale of the aftermath of love lost and the stickiness that follows
