I realized I actually haven’t posted any of my instrumental pieces on my blog, probably because they don’t involve any sort of words, but I could still talk about them. Which I will! Starting with this one.
This was written many years ago. I had just broken up with my first “boyfriend”– I say “boyfriend” because we never physically met, but had been exchanging messages and IM’ing online for quite some time. After about 2 and a half weeks or something, I had a feeling of insecurity, wondered if he really was who he was. Instead of showing me who he was, he broke things off, citing that if I wasn’t comfortable with us being together then we shouldn’t be together. Of course, I was sad and distraught, since I all I wanted was for him to prove to me he still liked me. I ended up writing this instrumental piece for him, originally called “For a Friend”, then re-titled it because I didn’t feel like it was quite right. At the same time, Vanessa Carlton just started performing her song “Fools Like Me” live (long before the studio version was ever released), and a lyric in the song, it’s all in the little ways one reveals their love’s gone away/love’s gone away really made me sad.
I’m still constantly reminded that love can go away, that even if I’m in love, it doesn’t mean the other person feels the same. Everything comes and goes.
It’s been a while since I’ve played this one, but I think I should learn it again.
