As his enigmatic name suggests, the Nameless Composer's moniker is not to be revealed until an assigned date. He produces music which catches his fancy in his bedroom - usually its New Age, post Psychedelic, Trip Pop, Alternative music with 60s pop and folk leanings. The Nameless Composer is a 20-year old (as of writing) loner, who hopes to break into the indie scene with his records and hopefully his live presence. While solo is the current thing, the possibility of him joining a band is high.

Story behind the song
I woke up one morning and just wrote it in about fifteen minutes, progressively adding to it, and shaping the melody and lyrics - the prosody - lovingly like a sculptor.
