Singled Out: A is for Atom's Song For You
. "Song for You" is a song that that came about during the breakup of my marriage. It was one of the dramatic moments, I had never written a song for her was one of the reasons for her leaving. I usually get around to things in my own time, so I guess better late than never. It's not really meant as a cut down on her-more a meditation on my own procrastination and bad patterns in my past relationships. I really like the kind of smart-ass-ness of the song-"well take that, here's a song for you�and you're gone." I though it was a good title track for this EP because most of the songs are about difficult topics from my past disguised with deceivingly mundane titles, (and the line reappears at the end of "The White Dress") I wrote it in my during my studies at NYU where it went through a lot of critiques, revisions, lyric changes, etc. Music school gave me more of a thick skin when it came to songwriting, and that song was maybe a little too personal, but it was really good that I did it. That's where I met Julian Cassia, who produced the song and the EP. It was on the shelf for a while and we revised it again into its current version, funky bass line, swirling synths and kind of bare vocals. The guitar work from Julian is very good on the track, I like the Middle Eastern vibe of the first solo. The song is different live, where we've added more vocal harmonies and simplified some of the bass lines. It is a very fun song to play (and hopefully hear) live! Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
