"I'd Rather Write a Love Song"
The piece is entitled “I’d Rather Write a Love Song.” It was written during the pandemic (last year) around the time of the social uprising in the country during the summer after the killing of George Floyd. It expresses the desire to want to escape the harsh realities of being part of a targeted group and the longing to have the freedom to simply enjoy a life of love and happiness without the constant reminder of injustice. The piece cycles between darkness and romanticism.
