This song was written at a time when I was re-visiting writing music again. It was a difficult process that was a bit overbearing, so I took it slow. Perhaps that's why I chose the slow tempo.

A palindrome is something that reads the same both backwards and forwards. While the notes of this song are not a palindrome, the title reflects more about how my life became backwards as well as forwards and in a constant state of uncertainty.

This piece's main pattern has an arpeggio that repeats throughout (called an ostinato). This ostinato doesn't add any drama to the composition with big peaks and valleys, but it does allow the piece to breathe.

Perhaps that's what I need to do - breathe. And just realize that sometimes a rebuild takes patience and time. The violin was invented 400 years ago, and is still being perfected to this day. Talk about something that needs both patience and time! While this piece isn't something that I would write today, it's captured a moment in my life when my life felt like a palindrome.

If you're listening to this piece, then hopefully it gives the impression of taking things slower than usual. And hopefully it gives you a melody that you remember.
