for black arthur blythe

"for black arthur blythe" is a haunting telling of a young artist coming to terms with his need to be musically creative and at the same time push back the negativity that comes with wanting to be a musician.He knew that he had a lot to offer and the raw talent was obvious but he played in the shadows, afraid of further negativity and rejection. He had a life altering higher calling and came out of the shadows.The music was considered too out there for popular trends and culture but he persevered.As it must happen with creative individuals, there must be a time when they are stagnant and not creative and back to the shadows they go as it happened inhis case but he had an epiphany and realized that he had to aknowledge the past, regardless of how much negativity came with it, because the past had beautiful melodies that affected his music today, like jazz, post-pop, latin, etc. He eventually learned to live with the demons and came out of the shadows to play on the sweet sounds that he was born to play.
