I'm sure most of us can remember back in high school when we realized we had emotions, and the track I am posting today, "Pain" is named for one of those. Despite the song title though, once the song was completed I was actually feeling "Joy". The previous day I got the information that my girlfriend was breaking up with me, so naturally I was unhappy, but little did I know how fortuitous this breakup would be.
The next day I had already made plans to dig through a garage full of records where a local dealer had his collection, and I was so excited I actually forgot about the previous days events. As I went through the records I was pulling out great stuff left and right, it was one of my best digging experiences (at that time). Lots of soul, funk, jazz, rock and all at roughly 2 bucks each. I was so happy I could barely contain myself. I threw the records in the car and rushed home to listen to the haul, and immediately remembered the breakup. "Why don't I express my emotions by making a beat?" I thought to myself. Long story short, I pulled out some of the records I found during the dig and put together a track, which I was quite happy with.
The moral of the story is: If you are feeling down, go buy some awesome records and then make music with them and you will feel ok again. (after listening to this song again, I was definitely in an 'aggressive' mood!)
Pain
thanks for reading and listening...
