This song was initially produced on the heels of the great dubstep wave in the early 2010s, running utterly contrary to the popular sentiment in electronic music at that time.
I felt a very strong pull toward more classic sounds, so I made a point to fuse rock drums, guitar, and most importantly bass guitar, into a predominantly electronic package. Tapping into positive forces the best I could, my intent was to create an uplifting feeling that could be communicated without words. After remixing/remastering the track in late 2020 and reflecting on the pain and hardships we have all undoubtedly experienced in recent times, I’ve made a bold decision and dared to hope again.
Hope for love, for health, for peace, and for fellowship as we emerge from this darkness with a newfound wisdom. Despite my reluctance to hope, for fear of disappointment, I would rather muster up the courage to push through the fear and reclaim that positivity I discovered all those years ago. I hope this tune finds you well and that you might shift your gaze along with me toward Brighter Days.
