John Farrell on "Solace":
“‘Solace’ is the instrumental piece on the EP. My focus was to create a quiet, solemn place in the listeners mind. In my experience I have found that songs with out words almost allow a more specific connection to the listener than a song with words because their head isn’t cluttered by the writer’s point of view. It allows each individual that listens to the song to come up with their own narrative behind the musical setting I’ve created. I had nothing to “say” in this song, only a mood to express. “
