When I first started this project back in May of 2017, I had no vision or a single song written, I felt that if I had given myself a band name that it would motivate me to play and write music again. I had not touched an instrument in over 4 years and I really didn't even know where to begin. It started off as a slow process not because I couldn't remember how to play but because I had to relearn how to play with 3 fingers instead of four, due to cutting the tip of my middle finger off 2 years ago. That was by far the biggest struggle, plus I didn't have a single instrument because I had sold or given all my stuff away. Thankfully my good friend Alvin loaned me his Telecaster which I still have and still use everyday (I promise I will return it when this record is done buddy!) It took a solid month before I got back into the swing of writing and playing again but I still had no purpose or direction in which I wanted to go. My life was falling apart at the same time and I just couldn't focus or motivate myself to do anything productive. I managed to write 4 songs from May-August. It wasn't until the end of September when I finally had a vision for this project. I'm not your average artist/writer. I write songs to whatever mood I'm in and I focus on that. I don't concern myself with song structures and making sure every song has 2 verses, a pre-chorus, chorus, bridge, ending and so on and so forth. Whatever Im feeling at that particular point in time is what follows, some songs are a minute and a half long and may not have a standard verse and chorus and some songs are eight to ten minutes long, it just depends on how fucked up emotionally I am when I write. Which brings me to my vision for this project. Before Anotherlife was created, I was just like any other person out there, I had a family, a wife and a good job. Every day was a struggle, whether it had been due to an over abundance of bills that were past due, or the stress of working until I was completely exhausted. I ended up marrying my fiancé if almost 6 years on March 11th, 2017, we had 3 children together and we both have a son from previous relationships. Our marriage lasted less than 30 days before it totally self destructed and my wife found comfort in another man that just happened to be my cousin who had been staying with us at the time. They had an affair behind my back and I moved to my mom’s and though my heart was broken and I was 50 shades of fucked up, the one thing that helped me get through each and every day was this music. Anotherlife isn’t a typical music project, this is a one big concept of life and the tragedy's that come with it and the path back to finding yourself again. A Bitter Ending is the name of the album I've been writing going on 8 months now, I currently have 32 songs planned for this, 16 full songs and 16 instrumentals that bridge the gap between every full song to help tell my story of the what happened or why I wrote the song that plays afterward. On my down time from writing the music for this I started developing a visual for this project as well with pictures and artwork for every song, so there will be a total of 34 pages of artwork for the CD booklet. I really hope this will help someone get through their own personal struggle if they find themselves in a similar situation and honestly this project has completely exhausted me and is still keeping me from fully moving on but I have to finish it and I want this to be my greatest achievement and something I will be proud of when it's all said and done. Thank you for taking time out of your own life to follow me through this journey as I begin to finally finish up the last chapter of the last 6 years of my life.
