#tbt - a year ago, @mattbloyd invited @chrissymetz & I to re-record my song “Anything Worth Holding on To” in a Los Angeles for a charity close to his heart. In the process, i made two new friends and a beautifully, emotionally, satisfying record. #mattbloyd #chrissymetz #scottalan #anythingworthholdingonto (at Fever Recording Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1d0QmRpeQG/?igshid=1x30ge1ybxo9b
"Sail me, far away from here. Towards emptiness or 'till I disappear. Sail me, wherever silence lives. Where I can go so no one finds me, leaving my whole life behind me and sail." Oliver Tompsett.

It's been a tough couple of weeks. When times get tough though, just remember to build yourself back up. #thursday #toughtimes #mentalhealth #scottalan #believeinyourself #selflove #365project #adventuresinnonsense #quotes #inspiration
Ok, I won't talk about the truly amazing acting class that you just gave me, but what happened on Monday instead: I don’t know exactly why i've wrote this, but I feel like my soul need to speak up those words after what I experienced so my body can assimilate it better. Most of all, I want to thank you. Theater, music, art, can be so implicit. You began our night putting your feet on the ground and showing that you were one of us. You music is about us. About you, me, Billy, Jason, André Alan (lol)...about feeling a gigantic variety of feelings for people (and dogs). And that’s how I ended the night. Wanting to sit down and absorve that honesty so much. I laughed, got emotional and though about things I already had forgotten during the night. Want you to know that your wish to touch someone with your words and music was sucessful. People think they’re gonna be great at singing or acting or anything only by going to classes (obviously this part is important), when they forget that putting yourself into it is the most importante part. I nor only saw the songs that I adore being sung by people that I adore, but YOU, mister, showing us who you are. Listening and studying your songs definately will mean a hundred percent more after knowing some of the truths behind it all. Some people could say “nah, it doesn’t matter”, but it matters to me. I identify with many of the fears, joys, decisions and situations that you passed by, and what is incredible is how you transform this memories into creative and touching moments. It kind of feeds me for doing the same in my life. We know that it ain’t easy. But it’s easier when we’re not alone, right? Know also that you are far from “done”. Yours sincerily and inspired acquaintance, Caio Also, I would like to thanks @emedaets, @jorgedegodoy ❤, and @4act for being the key to this. #scottalan (em 4Act Performing Arts)

Sometimes as a musician, especially a pianist, you end up playing and accompanying a lot for other people.
Just occasionally, it's important to have some 'you' time, and because I'm in the middle of writing my own full musical "project" at the moment, some inspiration from a great song writer was needed. This song means so much to me, and I just think it's incredibly well written (even the terrifying top A in the middle!)
Keep playing and performing people!
