The title monitor, “Boystown,” was the primary music for the album, however that piano half in “Love Odyssey” was the very first piece of music that I performed consistently after the breakup. There have been no phrases over it, no lyrics, no melody, nothing. I used to be going to the piano, simply taking part in. It is a waltz, so it strikes in a straightforward manner. It is enjoyable to play. It is meditative.
