“Forgot” Acoustic Version

When I wrote this song on acoustic guitar, I really like the feel of it.  And, which might come as a shock, this is partially inspired by “Love Yourself” by Bieber.  I think people would find that inspiration unusual.  The way the music in that song works really does a good job supporting the melody and story of the lyrics.  When I went to record this song, I opted for something not guitar oriented.  I found some EDM flavored groove and added a piano to the song and really liked where it was going.  When preparing monthly releases, I setup a session to catch acoustic versions of various songs.  This is one I started to do.  Those sessions morphed into something more elaborate where I was adding a second or third acoustic, tambourine, and vocal harmonies.  That’s part of the genesis of this acoustic version.  As I was working to change lanes with my YouTube channel, a friend of mine in France, Christophe Hugon, and I were working on some collaborations and I asked if he would be interested in playing a guitar part.  The EP for Forgot acoustic was born.  Listen to both versions on Spotify and YouTube.  The original version is on my album Blood Candy.
