The walls of Vernon Noronha’s apartment in Andheri are a sombre shade, and his guitars are meticulously placed across the space, as if there is always a song that is waiting to be created. Noronha’s approach to music is very similar to his approach to life — simple and minimal. There are no rushes but a gentle ebb and flow that emerges through his realistic lyricism. “In many ways, this album was my therapy. I don’t like to speak much about myself but I felt at that point in life, it was the only thing I had to share. That was where my mind was, and the songs echo the feelings shared by plenty during the course of the pandemic” he explains, while speaking about his songwriting process.
“The thematic concerns for this album were simply laying bare my true feelings about my state of mind. The pandemic raging on; no gigs to play at; less people to interact with, and the mind wanders,” the 32-year-old musician adds.
