About The Piece

I wrote this piece after interacting with a scammer — someone who, for some reason, decided no matter what, their needs come above all else (no matter what the cost). Musically, I tried to convey that by writing a blues with something a bit off. As we have probably all interacted with people like that, there is always some weird factor. That complex sound is part of the identity of this piece.
