My goal here was to make a chord progression on the Guitar using natural harmonics only. Quickly I realized there were far more chord possibilities across each string than there were voicing that I could possibly play with one measly fretting hand.

So after yesterday passed and I had done way more thinking about chord voicing options than actual writing I kinda threw in the towel with my lofty Guitar harmonics goal.

The song lyrics are about how I feel like I've abused my musical self through years of accepting low paying gigs that required me to learn hours upon hours of songs that I did not choose, nor cared for, and prioritizing covers over my true goals as a musician. The concept/theme was about an internal battle between what my brain tells me to do in music versus my heart.

Unfeathered pillow, the pendulum swings

Overcompensated, no feeling

Full of cheap thrills, lost a part of me

Can not override the voice inside my head

Untethered below, I'm floating

Past the tree line, I'm hoping I will find

The part of me, I've stolen

Gotta realize I'm not the voice inside my head
