Have you seen everything you’ve wanted to see before you die?<\/p>\n

That’s the question Chet Porter<\/a> posed on his debut album,\u00a0EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER SEEN<\/em><\/a>. Today he continues the story behind the LP with what was originally set to be its final track, “Things I Wish I Could Forge,” a dreamlike collaboration with Vancouver Sleep Clinic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Things I Wish I Could Forget” is one of Porter’s more subtle entries. Forgoing the bright, vivid production we heard throughout most of the album, he masterfully enthralls us with a swelling, deeply emotive soundscape.<\/p>\n

Vancouver Sleep Clinic’s signature falsetto beautifully matches his production, gently guiding us with\u00a0mesmerizing\u00a0lyrics that voice his regrets. “I should have loved you more,” he quavers repeatedly.<\/p>\n

“This song is actually really old, probably the oldest one on the album,” Porter tells EDM.com<\/em>. “Tim [Vancouver Sleep Clinic] had sent me a bunch of ideas to collaborate on and when I heard this one, I just knew it was going to end whatever record I was making. I want to say it\u2019s at least seven years old\u2026 It’s so easy to fall out of love with a song after a few months or a year, let alone seven, but I’ve loved this song the entire time, it\u2019s so special to me.”<\/p>\n
