Trilogy

Trilogy is the fourth track off of Wesley Evans' second album, Satisfied. The track was released with the album on March 29th, 2019.

Background
Trilogy was written in late October 2017. At the time, it was the final song Evans wrote for the album (later he wrote Backfired). Evans had three different ideas for the final song, but did not know which one he wanted to fully develop. Evans went back and forth for a little bit, and then decided to make all three ideas into one song. This is why Trilogy consists of three distinctly different songs.

Part One:
The first part consists of predominantly drums and piano, and deals with questioning why you want to be an important part in someone's life. This part is in Db Lydian at 93 beats per minute; and follows the chord progression: Eb-bbm-cm-bbm-Db.

Part Two:
The second part is predominantly synth and piano, and deals with someone who constantly criticizes you and puts you down. This part is in C# Phrygian at 93 beats per minute, and follows the chord progression: D-A-bm-A-c#m.

Part Three:
The final part of the song is predominantly acoustic, and deals with finally letting someone go. This part is in C# mixolydian at 93 beats per minute, and follows the chord progression: d#m-a#m-B-a#m-C#

Lyrics
Part I:

I want to be someone to you

I want to mean something to you

I wanna feel loved

And important too

Why can't I mean something to you

But Then again,

Why do I want to

Part II:

Cause every hair that’s out of place

you let me know

And every blemish on my face

you let me know

You’re so quick to take a jab at me

because i can never be as perfect as you

pretend to be

Part III:

But now I’ve done some thinking

And I have realized

That Sometimes holding on

Hurts more than letting go

And I have been holding on

for far too long

So it’s time I let you go
