Salon, So Long. – Charlie (Keeping You Safe)

In the enchanting sonic tapestry of Salon, So Long.’s musical realm, “Charlie (Keeping You Safe)” stands as a poignant masterpiece, born not in a high-tech studio but with an iPhone and a toy microphone/speaker/voice changer combo. This Utah-based composer, instrumentalist, and sound engineer, who nearly lost the battle against despair, has rekindled the flame of his lifelong dream. At 32, he paints melodies without a predetermined script, finding inspiration in life’s profound moments. This track, created on the spot with his 7-year-old son adding his own artistic touch, becomes a testament to the power of raw, unfiltered expression.

“Charlie (Keeping You Safe)” is not merely a composition; it’s a cathartic journey through the artist’s life. Salon, So Long. opens his heart and soul, drawing on personal experiences of loss, isolation, and single parenthood.
