maybe it's the steady quarter note bassline paired with the rollicking drums, or the way the chords resolve super cleanly and standardly, i'm not sure, but "new canaan" always gives me this air of traveling that isn't quite as present in your other songs? what i was wondering though is, do the other three songs written in a similar manner follow those listed tropes (conversely, do they have a similar feel to them)? very vague question, i'm sorry, but "new canaan" is one of my fav songs of all time and i'm really excited to hear more songs written in a similar vein! thank you!
i think the traveling feeling is in the writing. and a large percentage of my writing in 2009 (especially spring/summer 2009) had that feel
