Howdy everyone!
Here is a blog post to tell you who and what has inspired the tracks from my forthcoming album starting from "The Lord's Prayer" to "The Last Prayer".
Some of these inspirations may seem familiar to you and some of these may not so let's get started!
1. The Lord's Prayer
This was inspired from a short film I watched called "Tropico" starring Lana Del Rey. One of the main themes are about it was religion as this is a prayer which we say to "God" to ask him to forgive our sins.

2. In The Dead Of Night
This was inspired from her deep vocal style, originally as i planned for this particular track to be deep voiced a very "synthy" like her track "This Is Not The End" from the album "Light After Dark". But this track was changed musically but the lyrics stayed the same from the original music track I had in mind.

3. Heart
This track was thought of love and being in an identity crises. The music is lightly orchestral for this particular track and I feel everyone has some identity issues from time to time whether it's music or social.

4. I Think It's Going To Rain Today
This track is about sadness and memories. My inner most personal thoughts seem to come when i'm gazing through the window and watching the raindrops fall from the sky. I wrote this song after I moved house, got a new job, it brings out my memories from the fun and pain which I endured in the rain.

5. Angels & Demons
This track was written before any of the other songs on this album! (It was written before "Noir".) The music which I and Tyler Sanity (@tylerdawsonsl) mixed together sounds quite R&B/Hip-Hop like.

6. Tired Of Singing The Blues
This track was inspired by Amanda Palmer (Half Of The Dresden Dolls). This track is mainly about self worth and how it does get better over time! But this is a progression song about getting better in confidence as well as questioning everything in life. I used the inspiration of Amanda Palmer's monologue songs and put my story into my own song. (THANKS AMANDA)

7. She Left With A Bruise
This track is about how women aren't as innocent as stereotyped. This particular track was vocally influenced by "Ashland High" especially with the soft echo sound from his voice.

8. Razor Blades
This track is about my experience with razor blades and depression. Musically I wanted electric guitars and something quite deceiving going from something sounding innocent to something really beefy and full of bass.

9. Your Son Has Gone
This song is about someone which i'm close to.
I've changed the view of this person's story and put it onto myself and written how I would feel about the situation. So I decided this should be slightly angry and deep and I felt this song would go really well by piano.

10. Whiskey
This track is about my favorite alcoholic beverage in my crazy night of getting hungover which then ended by making me sad later that night and made me feel like nothing. I wanted an acoustic style for this but I later changed my mind for it to be slightly more wild.

11. Hell Is A Slut
This track is about being against Christianity on a personal level because it's so vague and flawed in many other ways. I wanted this song to be a rock song so it contains a lot of guitar work and heavy drums.

12. I AM JUDAS
This track is about taking a role from the bible and I chose to take the role of Judas. This song is heavy and contains screams! This song isn't meant to be poking fun at religion because the bible has some good morals in it, but it's being the role of betrayal, deceit and lies.

13. The Last Prayer
This track is the outro of the album and I thought it should've gone out the same way as it came in, so I decided to use another prayer.
