Personal Elegy is influenced by the glorious rock and roll Golden Age, the 1970s. The album has an overall classic rock feel, with songs running along that arc - with soft rock, classic rock, mellow rock, glam rock, classic hard rock.\n\nAbout Personal Elegy, Chris Field says, \"This album is a collection of songs I wrote and recorded over the past ten years. Living in Los Angeles, in the Valley, which is close to Topanga Canyon and the Pacific Ocean, there's so much nature and history all in the same area. Influence wise, I was remembering some music that was going on around here, back in the sixties and seventies. Lyrically, I was just writing about things around me. I really got into writing lyrics for this and was trying to find my own point of view. On Personal Elegy, I'm singing, using my own voice, unlike the instrumental works I usually do for film.\"\n\nField continues, \"The title track for the album, \"Personal Elegy\", is about things and people that have passed. It's, for me, watching the Valley change. Family and friends passing. Movie stars have their time as well. Heath Ledger had just passed away when I wrote this. The whole city of Los Angeles stopped for a moment - maybe the whole country. Really great actors make you feel that you know them and their passing feels immediate and personal. Definitely, in our family, my wife and niece were very upset, there was a reaction against this sudden loss, the ultimate reminder of change. This song seems to tie the album together in some way.\"\n\nIt is everyone's journey along the arc of time, beginning with death in \"Personal Elegy\" and through heaven in the piece \"A Safe Place to Hide\". The theme of sexual love in \"Computer Girl\", turns to hopeful love in \"Since You Were My Baby\" and \"Autumn Moon\", developing into the never ending love of \"You Make My Life Better\".\n\nWithin this arc of experience comes fame, in the glittery world of the movies, fans clamoring for an \"Autograph\". (Field's orchestral writing abilities shine in this piece.) \"Start Again\" comes after a fall. The ambiguous story of the sad abused girl \"Nola\" and \"Had It Comin'\" look directly into the ever present life dangers of abuse, and when called for, retribution.\n\n\"How Did We Get Here\", \"Live Another Day\", and \"All I Do Is Think About You\" deal with past experience, the wonderment of how and why things have unfolded as they did. \"New Tomorrow\" and \"Movin\" promise that we've still got some time.\n\nWe still have the hope of a better tomorrow, but only by moving on from things that have changed. But really, do things change? On the sand and beach, the eternal stars shining in the sky, the writer asks, was this \"Just A Dream\"? Only the listener can decide that for themselves - but Field's music can certainly put one in the mood to wonder. A great find.\n\n***Five bonus instrumental tracks are included on the Magnatune version.", "release_date" : "2016-08-23", "genres" : ["Electro Rock","Pop","Vocal"], "collections" : [{ "name" :
