Love doesn’t always make sense

Michael Nault
PIANO
writer and arranger
These were a few particular pieces with very special meaning. Those songs didn't match the music I was making with others then. Without the talents and inspiration of Tiana and Rebecca, these songs may never have found their true voice.

Tiana Goss
Vocals
"These few songs began our musical relationship. It was more than just stumbling upon talent; these chords, lyrics, and Tiana crossed paths at just the right time. Tiana brings a voice that is both emotionally authentic and technically dazzling. -
Rebecca Zimmer-Huber
Cello
Rebecca is a professional vocalist with a mastery of musical theater to classical styles. She is also an accomplished cellist who has performed in various settings, from solo to orchestral. Her cello playing significantly amplifies the emotional impact of D’amour Fou on these songs.
Most people will tell you they “write” songs, but often, songs are “come up” with - drawn, almost paint-by-numbers, “stay inside the lines,” allowing the musician space to color and shade the song. Other songs ARE “written” every note and rhythm precisely notated. the musician is not required to stay between but rather precisely ON the line. While this seemingly gives the musician less creative space to work within, the interpretation of the strictly written piece can land a much more effective emotional punch. Nuanced phrasing, dynamics, and tone can combine to place a laser focus on the intended emotion.
Longing for past summers intimate moments and, warm, endless days. A nostalgic sadness as the summer and the love end with a bittersweet acceptance

Feelings of hurt and confusion and the pain of questioning love's sincerity lead to a realization of self-worth
