After over a month of waiting for bursts of inspiration, I was able to carefully and subjectively complete this new caprice for piano and set it to a video. I titled it "The Last Door" because of the inspiration that's behind it.
I got the the idea to write this song when I was going through some old family photos; one specifically really made me think. It was an image of a Christmas get together at my Grandparents house that took place about 25 years ago. There are fourteen people in the picture and looking at it, I realized that only seven of these people are still living today. It just blew my mind - it hasn't been that long, yet in this short amount of time, all of these people are gone. I think I certainly used this song as a vehicle to express the loss I went through last year, when my four month old son, unexpectedly passed away due to SIDS.
This caprice about the brevity of life, but more importantly, it's about hope for a new and better existence in the next. There are many doors that lead us to so many places in life, but ultimately, they will all lead to the final door, a door into the eternal unknown.
