One day, I opened up iTunes and noticed all these recordings labeled "Alex Battles's Album" that were first takes of new songs I'd written during that time. I picked my favorites and found what I'd been looking for. The songs are ordered by the time of day they were recorded to give an accuarte picture of what my life was like during this time. |
