Love the Same

about

written when my girlfriend asked me to compose something for a short film she was making for the ES Disability Film Challenge. One of the actors, Toni, is autistic and non-verbal. She communicates by typing on a laminated printout of a qwerty keyboard. At a brainstorming session for the short film she said: “It’s really important, that people understand, that people like me, love the same.” Johnny, another non-verbal actor in the movie had this quote: “At the end of the day, no matter who you chose, I will always love you.” I used these two quote as lyrics for the melody and harmony of “Love the Same”. I originally recorded it for the film at home using my keyboard, a bass patch and my saxophone recorded into Logic Pro. The melody stuck with me for months after and I had to record it with the full group on Inner Light. It’s fairly simple in contrast to my other compositions but there is a positivity that I think shines through. I feel that positivity when I am around people in this community of special people and witness how happy and full of joy they are.
