As part of my voyage into self-discovery, I create a weekly Meditation from single-feeling word contributions, given to me by strangers on Instagram. I find the process so enlightening, reaching the depths of parts of me that remain hidden until discovered through this process of self-inquiry. Recently, the phrase “Nostalgic Yellow” was created and I was struck by the feelings coming through from this expression. Around the same time, Noemi @noemi.creativesouls asked if we might like to produce something together and of course, I said absolutely! I asked Noemi what she thought of the idea of “Nostalgic Yellow”! The phrase was created through one of my Meditations. Noemi shared this amazing song idea with me and some truly beautiful lyrics. When I first heard what Noemi had written, I was immediately struck by the timeless emotion of these ideas… Like the way love is felt even long after people have gone from our lives… And so there was a feeling of being somewhere in-between the immediacy of joy and the remembrance of it… This became the filter through which Noemi’s original idea was fed as I built up the instrumentation to expand on this idea. We asked Kai @kuusound if she’d like to record Noemi’s original vocals… All I can say really is that with every soul that touched this project, it became elevated in ways I don’t think any of us individually could have anticipated. Florida > United Kingdom > Transylvania … there are quite a few miles between us all and yet I feel like we have been so connected by the writing of this song! Even more special perhaps is the understanding of how this song speaks differently to each of us and yet forms a common understanding. It reminds me of life! James
