Nornalup, 27/11/11 (Instrumental)

Story Behind The Song

Remembering a special place, in the south west of Western Australia. This small, wooden cabin is from my past and holds deep sentimental value and brings back many fond memories. I heard there was a bush fire near the cabin and am afraid to discover whether the cabin and surrounding forest remains - I prefer to leave my powerful memories intact and enjoy the bittersweet nostalgia and sense of longing.

A song in four sections/movements: 1. Slow, swelling intro with melancholic lead guitar 2. Increase in feel, great 'travelling' vibe, sweet guitar lead over acoustic guitar, building drums and a washy soundscape 3. Song climax - big electric guitar chords lifted up into the atmosphere by soaring four part harmony tremolo picked guitar, big pounding drums 4. nostalgia in musical form - dulcet acoustic guitar chords cleverly playing through a powerful progression, lofi style female vocals singing free form. distant piano joins - full of memory and longing
