Amnesia

Amnesia is a single by singer-songwriter Wesley Evans. The single was released on June 22nd, 2018. It is Evans' first single since the singles off of Trust Issues.

Background
Amnesia was written in the summer of 2017, for Evans' upcoming second album, but did not make the final cut. Evans felt as if the song did not really fit with the mood and tone of the rest of the album, and removed it.

Composition
Amnesia is written in the key of Ab major, at 106 beats per minute, and lasts for 3 minutes and 34 seconds. The song follows the chord progression of Ab-fm-cm-Eb. The song contains 'moving' air bells, and a pulsing, distorted bass.

Acoustic Version
On July 10th, 2018, Evans released an acoustic version of Amnesia. This version removes the air bells, bass, and flute from the original, and instead, consists only of piano and violin. This version lasts for 3 minutes and 50 seconds.

Lyrics
I wish I could forget it all All the times I’ve been hurt All the times I would fall But not brush off the dirt

I forget when I’m fine But I remember the bad times But you change things around

You’re my amnesia You help me forget my pain In this arena You’re what helps me remain sane

I want to move past my mistakes But I can’t just restart Yet there are too high stakes For me to fall apart

I forget when I’m fine But I remember the bad times But you change things around

You’re my amnesia You help me forget my pain In this arena You’re what helps me remain sane, remain sane

You’re my amnesia You help me forget my pain In this arena You’re what helps me remain sane
