Solace Solace
Solace is the title song of my first album. It's first song I wrote that had deeply personal meaning. It helped me get through the pain of my parent's divorce and reaffirms that there is hope in life, even when all seems bleak.
4:45 A.M. 4:45 A.M.
This song describes what it feels like to be awake at 4:45 A.M. I'm not sure whether it describes staying up til 4:45 or getting up at 4:45, but either way it's a slightly delirious time to be awake.
First Song First Song
This is the first song I wrote. It has the feel of looking at the world with innocent, unbiased eyes.
Fantasy Impromptu Fantasy Impromptu
A happy, enthusiastic song with a Chopin-style title that has no bearing on the song's style. It brings to mind a carefree day with friends, the exhilaration of doing something you love, and the joy of having a day off.

The Storm The Storm
I see a summer thunderstorm where you get caught out in the rain, followed by going inside and enjoying watch nature's fury beat on the windows while you're dry inside.
Waltz no. 1 in B-flat minor Waltz no. 1 in B-flat minor
This is a Romantic-style waltz, similar to ones written by Chopin.
