It’s been
a long time coming, but it’s finally here! Aston Teague
Acoustic EP is my first release as a solo artist. I’m extremely
excited to release this album because it’s a very personal
collection of songs that all mean a great deal to me. I
recorded five of the six songs on this album at Matchbox Studios in
Austin, Texas. The 6th song titled “On Our Way” was recorded in my
apartment living room. Writing and producing all the material
on this album was definitely a challenge but it allowed me to
maintain control of the sound and I was able to go anywhere I felt
necessary, creatively. It has a very acoustic, stripped down
sound which is what I was going for when producing the album.
I wanted it to sound like the listener was in the room with me.
I just wanted it to really sound like me! Thanks to Lance Lane
(piano) and Dustin Mattiza (percussion) for the helping me make this
album.
Joined At the Soul
This song was inspired by an urge to
get my music out to the world. By writing this song, I was
trying to convey to the listener that I was “all ready to go” full
speed ahead with my music career. I was in a very early stage
of writing and especially performing but I truly felt like I had
found my purpose in life and I was ready to see how far I could take
it. The line “Joined At the Soul” symbolizes to me the power
of music and it was an attempt to bring the listeners together,
regardless of race, religion, or creed, all to enjoy the love and
soul that I try to put into each one of my songs.
First Base
This was definitely the most fun song for me to write
because it, unlike the rest of the songs on the album, didn’t really
come from any one particular event or experience. It just felt
good, and it really kind of put itself together once I started
writing it. We all know what “first base” means, and that’s
usually such a fun time in a new relationship. I was trying to
catch that feeling, all while making fun of the situation at the
same time. I was a bit apprehensive about putting it out, but
it really grabbed a hold of me while writing and from the reaction I
got from friends and fans I knew that people wouldn’t take the
lyrics too seriously.
The Silence
This is my personal favorite song on the album for two
reasons. The first reason is that it’s an actual live
recording, meaning that I was playing the guitar and singing the
song at the same time. I didn’t stop to redo or edit the track
while recording. If you listen closely, you can hear me
flipping my guitar pick in my hand in the silent parts. It’s a
raw version of what I really sound like after a hard day in the
studio. But the emotion of the song really came through and
made up for any vocal blunders in my opinion. The second
reason I like this song so much is because it symbolizes the triumph
of getting over something that really hurt you or just getting
through a tough time in life. It was inspired by the
realization of that at this very point in my life I’m better off
just working on myself in efforts to get to a point where I am ready
for a meaningful relationship.
Angel
This is a complete description of a person that truly
changed my life for the better. Within the first few seconds
of meeting her I knew that we were going to have a great
relationship and I was right. This is a tribute to one of the
most amazing people I’ve ever known and a way of saying thank you
for being a part of my life. I wouldn’t be where I am now, if
not for her. Thank you Abigail!
Elevator Love Song
This was inspired by a moment that I’m sure everyone
can relate to. You’re in an elevator with another person who
you find attractive. You usually don’t say anything to
strangers on the elevator but this time you really want to.
Your time is limited because eventually you will both get off your
floor and go about your lives. So you either go for it, or in
the case of the song you don’t quite make it happen. More than
anything, it was a really fun idea for a song and I think that most
everyone can relate.
On Our Way
The darkest song on the album in my opinion but it
still seems to brighten my day every time I perform it. This
song is about the rough times of a relationship. Two people who love
each other but don’t quite have it together yet, driving each other
crazy but more in love now than the day they met, they are showing a
side of themselves that they wouldn’t have shown in the beginning,
but all the while are reassured by the strength of their love for
each other that someday they will be back in the sunshine.
