for the lonely souls (35) preface

while i was putting the finishing touches on my last album, i very quickly began laying out the concepts for the next one. once “the wanderer” released, i disappeared into the shadows to work on this new album, and now, i’m finally emerging with the finished project. here we have “for the lonely souls (35),” which was originally merely titled “(35)” in reference to it being my milestone 35th poetry album. i chose, however, to add a proper title to it once the project was completed. i tried to carry a similar mindset to my last album where i tried not to think about whether a poem would be fiction or nonfiction, and i also went for something a bit different with the line and stanza construction. above all, though, this album is dedicated to anyone who may be going through any form of loneliness, be that in your personal life, professional life, social life, or any life you can think of. i hope you all can find some comfort in this new set of stories. i know that releasing two albums in a month might seem like the perfect time to take a break…but i think there may be even more to come:

1. (intro)

2. (invisible)

3. (wish you were here)

4. (the backup friend)

5. (the 20s)

6. (interlude)

7. (the west end)

8. (let it circulate)

9. (milkshake duck)

10. (lullaby)
