Books Of Moods Perspective on Dreams
My music draws inspiration from a rich tapestry of sources that transcend the boundaries of conventional influences and is shaped trough indie folk rock melodies. Primarily, the wellspring of my creativity flows from the vivid realms of dreams, the evocative scents that linger in memory, the picturesque landscapes that tell stories of their own, and the profound encounters that leave indelible imprints on the soul.
Books Of Moods" is a folk rock indie music project that emerged from a desire to craft a musical odyssey. The inspiration stemmed from a fascination with storytelling and the exploration of human emotions. The dreamy tones and folk-infused melodies became the canvas through which i could narrate the odyssey of Woodrow and Luth—a journey that mirrors the complexities of the human experience. The project is a labor of love, weaving together influences from folk, rock, and indie genres to create a sonic tapestry that invites listeners to embark on their own emotional adventures.
"Books Of Moods" has been a lingering dream for decades, slowly maturing and incubating in the recesses of my creative mind. However, it wasn't until around three years ago that the project truly came to life. The catalyst for its manifestation was an unexpected yet serendipitous moment—friends organizing a small music festival and extending an invitation for me to play a few songs. Embracing the opportunity, I found the courage to share the musical tales I had nurtured for so long but had kept private. This pivotal experience not only marked the project's public debut but also ignited a spark within me to delve deeper into its potential. Subsequently, the challenges of the COVID-19 era provided the perfect backdrop for me to expand and refine the "Books Of Moods" sound, shaping it into the dynamic and layered musical odyssey it is today.
Over the past few years, the evolution of "Books Of Moods" has been a transformative journey. Initially rooted in the simplicity of acoustic guitar and vocals, the music took a compelling turn during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Faced with the unique circumstances, I seized the opportunity to delve into the intricacies of music production.
However while i was working in very different industries than music or creation, I dedicated time to learning the art of recording and expanded my musical palette by acquiring and mastering several instruments. This shift not only broadened the sonic landscape of "Books Of Moods" but also allowed for a more nuanced and layered approach to storytelling. The process of self-education and experimentation during those challenging times became the catalyst for a new chapter in the project's sound—a fusion of dreamy tones and diverse instrumental elements that now define the evolving identity of "Books Of Moods."
"Dreams" is a song that holds a special place in the heart of "Books Of Moods," as it's a composition that has been brewing in my mind for many years. Some of the melodies and lyrics had been residing in my thoughts, patiently waiting for the right moment to come to life. Originally envisioned as "Morning Tea," the song began with guitar melodies that painted a picture of a loving couple sharing a moment of intimacy over a cup of tea in the morning.
As the creative process unfolded, the narrative evolved, and I sought to impart a grander dimension to the love shared by the characters Woodrow and Luth. The title transformed to "Dreams" to convey the perpetual nature of their connection. The song captures the essence of a love that transcends the boundaries of time and space, suggesting that Woodrow and Luth are never apart, whether awake or asleep. The simplicity and strength of their bonds are encapsulated in the line, "light and shadow melt together so well" in the chorus, symbolizing not only the cycle of night and day but also embodying Woodrow as the Sun and Luth as the Moon in the overarching storytelling of "Books Of Moods." The song is a testament to the enduring and intertwined nature of their love.
