The Acapella Files (IMED 1359.001 Post #3)

I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned this, but I'm an artist myself (which probably explains why my blog is dedicated to my love for music). Anyway, this week, I've decided to write about my original music. Next year, I plan to release an entire acapella EP of my own, entitled "The Acapella Files," and I thought it would be nice to go into depth about each song, explaining their content. This entire EP is inspired by true events, and I wanted to tell that story through each song.

1. 'Heights' - This song - which is also the single - is about simply being afraid to fall. After you've been hurt, it can be difficult to trust, or even open yourself up to another person. By nature, I can be a very guarded person and that affects me most when I'm getting to know a new person, so this song is definitely written from my own personal experience. 

2. 'Wish U Would' - This song is about how trust issues can deteriorate a relationship. Most of the time, our insecurities tend to push a good person away. Once trust is diminished, it can be hard not to expect every other relationship to turn out the same. The entire song says I "wish you would" go out and cheat on me, I "wish you would" lie to me, daring the new guy to be exactly like the last one. 

3. 'Red Flags' - This song is pretty self explanatory - it talks about seeing the signs all along, but being too afraid to shed light on them. Everything turns out exactly how you expected because all the 'red flags' warned you from the start. 

4. 'Dark Shades' - The fourth (and final) song tells the story of a smooth operator who uses his flirtatious nature, charm, and wit to cover up something much deeper. This song is what inspired the entire acapella project. 

XOXO,
