Ella (2020)

We sat in a café while it rained, and shared stories from the summer that had somehow left both of us in heartbreak. She gave me some advice that I didn’t know I needed, and then I took a long walk that ended at the piano, where I sat down and wrote this piece. I tried to capture the feeling of serenity that moment had, the comfort of a good friend when you need them, the stillness of a small town when the damp and grey ushers everyone inside.
