Terran Holiday

I often call this “the first song I ever really wrote”. I remember sitting on my couch in my living room in the Manhattan high-rise apartment I grew up in. I was just beginning to discover proper fingerpicking, as I had almost exclusively used a pick since starting guitar in middle school. I began exploring a picking pattern that sounded different from anything I had ever played before and it took me somewhere emotionally. It was the first time I had written that kind of song.

The lyrics are from the perspective of a colonist on the Moon looking at Earth and yearning for a vacation on the warm, lush planet.
