No Longer Loving Longing
As I mentioned in The Doorway Presentation notes on Nero Nava, I experienced an artistic renaissance during the last several production weeks for The Doorway. In my two week visit to the city, and amidst in depth conversations and collaberation for The Doorway and beyond, Nero was inspired and wrote “No Longer Loving Longing” in a matter of minutes – you may listen to the song below.
The next day, I halted movie editing, and we made an early morning studio trip to capture guitar and vocal tracks. I proudly engineered a successful session, and that night we celebrated the song with the San Francisco night life – I saw the sunrise and had a great time, but unfortunately, I was stunted by incomplete editing from the previous day and went home battered and exhausted with a parade of emotional thoughts. When I awoke; I had a vision that completed the The Doorway: the phone call and silent scream mentioned in the presentation notes.
As a side note, this song was considered for the final credits of The Doorway, but Nero and I decided the final series of live action sequences were too strong – the movie stood on it’s own. The songs simplicity is in the spirit of The Doorway, i.e., less is more, and ultimately, I love the song and what it represents: a memorable and powerful renaissance.
