Jason Keisling - Bystanders

JASON KEISLING is a Washington DC-based songwriter, producer and composer known for con-ceptual songwriting and blending lush soundscapes with psychedelic synths and experimental guitars.

His new single Bystanders is a blend of post-progressive rock with 80s alternative rock. This song explores some unique chord progressions, polyrhthyms and internal rhyme schemes that make it stand out. 

Lyrically is about people always looking toward the future or reminiscing the past at the expense of enjoying the present. People don’t fully embrace the moment until it is buried in nostalgia. 

Jason Keisling says about it: "The song is written in B Mixolydian, which was chosen because it is overall a happy sound much like the major scale, but it has a hint of sadness to it. I felt this perfectly fit the feeling of nostalgia, which is generally a happy feeling but with a hint of longing or sadness that the time is gone."
