truthfully life is just catching up to me a bit, work is killing me, and i'm packing up stuff to move next month because i'm being evicted. i've got help from my friends, it's just too much for me. this is the first week i've not done a track about Riverdale, and the first week without lyrics, just wanted to write something about home. i listened to a segment about miners strikes in Durham, and it broke my heart a bit, so this is for them.

the interview playing over the intro i imagine is hard to understand for a lot of people because of how loud the music is, and also because of the accent. it's a man talking about a 14 year old kid leaving school and coming to work in the pit after his mother was widowed, only to die two days later in an accident. if you are interested in the whole thing, it's here. it moved me a lot.

I was working on an entirely different track this week that was upbeat and fun, but when saturday came around i didn't really have the head on me to finish it; maybe i'll come back to that another time when my mood is better heart

I feel ya regarding work and life kind of stamping out the energy to make a track, but this ended up being a really nice tune regardless of the obstacles! The soundscape sounds like a sad, decaying dream, which seems appropriate for the context. Sorry to hear about the eviction, but I hope things even out for you soon.

Dreamy, lovely, and sad. Sorry things are tough right now - I hope they turn around soon

Being evicted is rough, sorry you have to go through that. Glad you got help from your friends. This track will be a fantastic time capsule for when all of this is behind you! And it does sound like you gave yourself at least a little peace making this. smile

hope everything goes okay, so sorry this is happening sad this track is so beautiful

this is WONDERFUL!!! my gosh. you really make such ethereal uplifting sounds! lovely use of the vocal track too!

hope it goes well for you with the move and stuff!

I am sorry to hear things are so tough on you right now. I admire that you are able to create something so beautiful in challenging times. I wish you all the best!

gorgeous song, hope things go well etc but i wanna hear that girly pop banger u were working on ok (love u hehehe)

Very sorry to hear you have to move. Must be stressful times. You'll pull thru this, you were able to give us a nice track that fits with the weight you endure. Nice guitars and pianos with very sad story on top of it.

Take care.

Such a comforting chord progression.  The guitars shine so nicely with the piano chords.  Like sunlight through a forest.  So sorry to hear about the move coming up.  I hope things can even out a bit soon. Love that last chord ringing out heart

Glad to hear there's somebody to help you through this hard time. Hopefully this will turn into a positive change in the end, and work will dial down the killing, too.

As for your cinematic piece, I'm sad to report I still got no notes. Still five stars.

I'm sorry to hear you going through it... but hows the saying go? "The sun always follows the rain"... so here's to a better tomorrow.  And I'm glad you still found a way to make some music about it.

This is so lovely and I'm sorry it comes from a place of difficulty. Sometimes life just gangs up on you, and it's rarely one huge thing, just a lot of mundane atrocities that wear on your mood, finances, body, and attention. Hopefully eviction is a fleeting issue and I'm glad you have good friends."
But the track, yes - it sounds like a beautiful interlude between your Riverdale tracks and I think fits really well even though it's a bit of a departure.

Another haunting and dreamy work of wonder from Maisie Marra: always so opulent in a wash of nostalgic reverie, mad love for these vibes.
Hope the other life-stuff gets more uplifted for you soon heart

I couldn't agree more with every word LeBernd said. I'm really hoping you could return to the magic of Riverdale and all their highschool drama instead of going through all these real life struggles.

Very beautiful moments here. I'm old enough to remember watching the slow death of mining communities around Europe everyday on the TV news. You expressed a lot without words in your song.

My most sincere best wishes for you this week smile

lovely track, heart-breaking story.

head up with life stuff, yeah? it's a lot but we'll be here if you need a break.

all my best as you head into this next chapter. hoping things will be lighter for you.
thank you for making and sharing this lovely hug of a song. it helped me catch my breath over here.
take care  heart

sending positive vibes, life has a way of always testing your resolve, we know asking why provides no value as the answers don't come. In this small community we show up. I can only hope that today is better than yesterday and tomorrow is better than today. Unfortunately I only have good vibes to offer, I do hope they make their way over! Now as to the track, it was over before I was ready, really nice!

Iridescent, luminous, LARGE

Sorry to hear about your troubles, hope all is well.

Hang in there! Great you could channel it into this. You have got the sounds and textures for your style so dialed.

Absolutely gorgeous. Lush and warm and I want to wrap myself up in it. Vocals are amazing. A lovely wash of sound.

So sorry this is a hard time for you right now, and glad you have friends to help you through it. Creating through times like this can be rough, but it can also be healing - I’ve leaned on WB like that before. Here’s to better days in the future.

Hope things get easier for you soon. This track is lovely smile

beautiful. Thank you

This is so lush and gorgeous. Such a lovely way to create a tribute. I can feel so much heart and reverence in this.
I'm so sorry things are hard right now. My hope is that this will be the start of a new and better chapter for you. Sending you lots of love.

I'm at an absolute loss for words. This piece is a stunning outpouring of emotion. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I can't stop listening to it.

I hope things are on the way up for you soon heart

I hope this comment finds you well (I mean, I've heard your next songs, so I reckon it will)
