"VICTORIA is a piece that comes straight from the bottom of my heart, the very darkest depths, that is." -Shaandar Inspired by the themes of the Victorian era, this piece by Shaandar meshes complex genres into a medley of sound. Classical foundations are infused with modernized electronica and amplified by the songwriter's flare. The song touches upon provocative and emotional themes of depression, anxiety, and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.more

A note from the songwriter: "In The Middle Of It All is more than just a breakup song. It's a song that portrays relationships in a light of responsibility over longing. Sometimes people have to come into your life simply to go some day, regardless of how painful it may be. The lyrics are colorful and reflective, serving from two different perspectives simultaneously, the two sides to any relationship. And the song itself is ever-growing, the mood changes and shifts in energy gradually beyond the edge of each chorus, before inevitably exploding at the very end. This is symbolic of the way that relationships are - It all starts out very sweet, but conflict is bound to take root at different moments. And sometimes, that conflict can become everything, a storm that seems to swallow your world whole. In this case, that storm is mental health, but for my listeners, I hope you find something profound to relate this message with that is unique to you."more
