Chess

My song is a description of an abusive relationship that uses chess as a metaphor for the manipulation that takes place in such toxic relationships. I started off by writing the song on the guitar, attempting to use as many metaphors in the lyrics as possible, almost like a competition with myself to see how many I could use. I then made the backing track of the song using a DAW. Finally, I added my vocals and mixed them to the best of my abilities.

Music is a therapeutic manner of expressing the emotions, concepts, and themes that I experience throughout my life through lyricism. By continuing to explore new avenues and pathways to express myself, I not only enrich my life but the lives of those who consume and enjoy my art.
