Nothing Gold Can Stay

This song is called Nothing Gold Can Stay, inspired by Robert Frost’s poem about the fleeting nature of beauty and how nothing in life lasts forever. When I first read the poem, I realized its message could apply to so many aspects of life, and that inspired me to create lyrics around the idea. This was the first song I ever finished recording, and it took six months because I realized it is actually quite challenging to record music, but incredibly rewarding. My piano teacher helped me record using some of his equipment, and from there, it was a process of refining each part. I played the guitar countless times until it felt just right, while the vocals alone took almost a month to perfect. Overall, this experience taught me so much about the recording process and helped me grow as a musician.

Creativity, to me, is a way to express myself in a way that is not possible with just words. Music, melodies, rhythms, and tones has the potential to be more powerful than anything someone can say.
