Pink

“Pink” is a song depicting the happiness someone feels after breaking free from an overly taxing relationship. The sudden transition from chronic stress to peace leaves them confused on what they’re supposed to feel. On the one hand, they notice how much easier life feels after the person’s leave, comparing this overwhelming joy to looking at life through rose-colored glasses, hence the song’s title. On the other hand, they realize the significance of the relationship in their self improvement journey as it gave them a better perspective of life and their expectations for future relationships. I love jazz and am repeatedly amazed and inspired by the beauty of its chords and voicing. For this reason, I worked to implement some jazz chord progressions into this song.

To me, creativity starts with taking in a wide variety of works created by others. The knowledge acquired by those works is then used to create something that attempts to convey one’s personal experiences and emotions to others; both by provoking emotion through the work and by utilizing the imagination.
