10. November Fear
An extensive calm emanates throughout Firesale, which (per the artist) “begins in the aftermath, taking stock of what has been lost and sifting through what remains.” Pessimism and optimism meet like darkness and light, and out of that twilight comes Timid, the Brave’s lilting, passionate voice. “In my mind, the sound of a song and the theme of a song are inseparable. If I’m writing a song about Seasonal Depression (fun!) like “November Fear,” it has to sound like the dead of winter,” explains Selles. “There has to be a sense of weight to it, or the words don’t connect for me. In ‘Waiting,’ you have to hear the tension between belief and unbelief in the grit of the guitar and hard-hitting drums and the way it leaves you hanging. I’ve always found that the feeling and meaning of a song have to blend together for it to have an impact on me.”
This marriage of music and meaning is by no means unique to Timid, the Brave, but his music is so raw that even the smallest of steps feels like a significant jump. It also speaks to the artist’s topical choices: Selles is not after anyone’s heart, and if he is, he’s masked it well. “The need to connect the sound of a song to its meaning is a barrier that’s potentially kept me away from pop music or from writing more up-beat songs, because writing has always been a cathartic process for me. It helps me navigate through the different trials and tensions in my life. If it’s a beautiful sunny day and all’s well in the world, I don’t feel the need to write a song about it. I’ll get outside and go for a bike ride or throw a Frisbee around. It’s when things go downhill or questions go unanswered that I feel compelled to pick up my guitar and explore how I got to that place, why I feel the way I do. That self-reflection is an enlightening process for me. By the time I’m done writing a song I’ll have a much better grasp on whatever I’m wrestling with than when I started, and it helps me move forward from there. I hope that anyone that comes along for the ride can experience a bit of that catharsis as well.”
