My new song, “Vacant,” was written as a knee-jerk response to a really difficult season of life at the end of last summer.
I had lost my appetite, I wasn’t sleeping well, and having a really hard time making sense of my situation. It went on for a while, too – so much so that I eventually just grew sick of how I was feeling, and really wanted it to be over.
Sitting at my piano late one afternoon, I sang a demo into my phone and it was pretty slow. After transferring the song to guitar, I realized it had the potential to be a driving, bare-bones, passionate howl. The song then promptly took shape.
