In a time where I was constantly searching for my identity, my inner sound, my blueprint , I experienced many struggles. Mentally I battled with demons and fear plagued my spirit . There were a hand full of compositions that I created during the period of 2008 - 2010 while I attended college. My computer was stolen literally hours before my plane flight back to San Antonio the night before and this track was one of the projects lost on the laptop. I was devastated,broken , depleted, and just over all drained. My spirit was suffering and I was slightly loosing inspiration. One day at the place where I was working this elderly young spirited woman with long white hair would always come in and talk , and talk , and talk some more. Most employees would try to avoid her but for the most part I enjoyed the conversations I had with her. One time she had asked me if I knew what the "dark night of the soul" was . I replied to her with " no , not that I can truly recall". Then she began talking about the existence of dark & light , positive& negative, the ying and the yan, and how the only way out is basically through. Through the dark we are allowed to see the light. She was basically describing my life to a Tee and everything she spoke resonated with my spirt . She then told me that The Dark Night Of The Soul was actually a poem written by St.John of the cross and that is how I got the name for this track and that is what this track reflects.
