My senses lied to keep hope alive...


Now adding some finishing touches to Nothing is Lost. Trying to arpeggiate the strings at certain points to give a different feel. Think I need to also add some percussion to give it a bit of flavour. However, it is intended to be a simple song so I don't want to lose that by over-flavouring, if you will (yah yah yah).
It's meant to be a hopeful ballad (did I just just use that word? urgh..). I think it might read as a straight break up song, and I guess it is a break up song sort of, in that it is a song of mourning.
But the straight up breakup song on the album is definitely Switchback.
And there's a straight-up love song on the album too, called Acres. Acres will be the last one I get to, so I hope I'm not too exhausted with this whole process to do it justice.

I need ideas for the album cover. Help?
