Here is still yet another song that I had originally written (and performed) back on Long Island for The New Era band, all those years ago...
I was inspired to rework some of the lyrics (and music) somewhat based on a performance of a song from the seemingly recent re-release on Amazon Prime of one of my favorite flicks of all time called: The Idolmaker. The song in question, is a surprisingly brilliant (and powerful) piece of music towards the end of the movie. (i.e. "However Dark The Night"). I was also somewhat influenced by the fantasy movie I had just recently and inadvertently seen on Netflix called: The School for Good and Evil. (As it is a kinda' fantasy type song to begin with). In retrospect, I also redeveloped the track with some Gospel like undertones as well, from that rather brief period in my life, when a few of us were doing our own observation and analysis of what seemed to be the beginning of the Pentecostal Mega Church thing that was also taking place on Long Island in certain circles.
(And I have to say, some of the music performed at some of these places was pretty good, and somewhat emotional, powerful, and uplifting in its own way).
The final result is like, an emotional anthem/ballad with a cinematic lift. Someday blends soft pop textures and introspective storytelling to explore themes of hope, transformation, and longing. With gentle piano, ambient pads, warm strings, and expressive vocal harmonies, the track builds toward a dynamic chorus that has a feel that is both intimate and expansive. Someday is a reflection on the quiet resilience we carry through uncertain times - and the dream of a better tomorrow...
By the way, you can check-out The New Era band playing this song live, around the time that it was first written. The video was posted in the Blog section of this website on April 21st, 2018 entitled: The New Era - Live at February's. We didn't have much time to practice the song when the video was recorded, so it was still VERY raw and quite undeveloped, compared to this recording, for instance…
