Blue Augustine On the Making Of “Evolution of A Heart”
What was the creative process like for this particular song?
I was in my bedroom with my beloved Guitar "Chiron" and a flood of emotions of unconditional love came through and the song was created in one long breathe, Guitar, Melody, Lyrics. There was no heavy thought process, just Heart...of course the mind was involved, but only as a mechanism to help the song come through via knowledge of chords and language. It was a gift.
Were there any challenges or breakthrough moments during the songwriting process for "Evolution of A Heart?"
No challenges or breakthroughs....Just Flow.
