A look back at a part of my life now deceased. It expresses the bittersweet (but mostly sweet) end of an era. "Death of a Bachelor" is very important to me. I wrote a new album this year and even in the few songs that don't sound remotely similar to any of his music I still felt his influence in the writing and the need to relate so personally to each song. So it's only right that I return the favor and/or pay it forward.
His music has been a major player in the soundtrack of my life. I attach his music to so many memories: Opening presents on Christmas day, my grandparents teaching the rest of the family to swing dance, watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit with my siblings (Sinatra makes a cameo in the form of a cartoon sword singing "Witchcraft"). Through a post from social media, Panic! at the Disco frontman Brendon Urie revealed Death of a Bachelor took inspiration from the work of Frank Sinatra, an American actor and singer.įrank Sinatra turns 100 this year.
