Hey Our Basement,
I wrote “City Lights” when I was 16, a song about my dreams of a picture-perfect relationship. It’s something I wish I had—both back then, and to this day.
Even though I’ve never experienced it, I wanted to create this story where it does play out. In this song, I paint this dreamy picture of being with a loved one under the city lights and the night sky.
Revisiting the song now gave me a chance to make it something closer to the music I listen to nowadays, using production that I feel more closely fits the lyrics.
I feel like I’ve watched too many coming-of-age stories. It sucks to feel like you’ve never had any main character moments in your own life, unlike what you see in those movies and tv shows.
I wrote this to try to capture for myself, what it might feel like to live a life of young and carefree moments. I hope that when you listen to “City Lights,” you can feel those moments too.
Thank you for spending time with this song,
Kennen
Good day!
Hi Dar!
How are you?
Peachy keen Scott. How’s you? 😀
I’m doing great. It’s another hot day here. Once work is done I’ll be in the pool.
I was talking to one of the guys at the plant this morning. yesterday the humidex in the plant was 41.5. I’m glad I can hide in the air conditioning.
Yikes! That humidity thing is real. We are usually very dry but when it is humid, I sure feel the difference. Our weather is pleasant these days. Possible showers/thunderstorms later but that is cool.
I am waiting for Purolator before I head out. The parcel is on the truck but they sure are taking their time getting here!
And the parcel got here! Woot!
TTFN!
