“Just You” combines the harmonic colors of Gypsy jazz guitar, a steady beating pulse, psychedelic synth lines, and a bass line that explores and inverts a musical theme on the upright bass. My lyrics recall shared memories of intimate moments and vulnerabilities with my ex. Solo guitar passages run parallel to a Moog Voyager synthesizer’s ascending line with a filter sweep that opens up the sound, signifying my raw expression of truth. The bird theme plays through, as both of our last names are the names of birds; mine: Alouette; his: Cardinal. The lyrics about the pistol lying on the window were inspired by a moment when I worked on a French vineyard and château. One morning I went to the kitchen window and found a pistol there. At first, I thought there was a secret James Bond-esque situation going on in the grand estate. I later learned it was for shooting at pigeons to scare them from the turrets in the château walls. The haunting chorus, “Just you and I” (inspired by a moment from the film ‘Twin Peaks’), repeats as our love washes away through the beachy marshes where we created memories.

It was so easy to discover the next time around Just you and I You flew up to my window I looked down, there was a pistol But only For shooting pigeons and not red birds Why couldn't we find our private bunker? It was so easy to discover the next time around Just you and I
