What inspired the artist for this album? According to the singer-songwriter, it started with the various emotions he felt while gazing at the sunset. He said in a press release, “I was deeply touched and felt relief by the silent sunset and how it greets the night, fulfilling its role in the most beautiful way possible. The repetitive and burdensome times that I could not overcome alone guided me ‘back to the drawing board’.
