“I wanted to take songs that have made me feel a certain way and have stuck with me over time. Some are quite old while some are quite new. Some names are very familiar, like Bruce Springsteen, however, I edited the vocals to simply use the melody and haunting sax melody. It’s songs like this that are not traditional ambient songs, and weren’t written by ambient artists, but possess an ambient quality from which I draw my inspiration for my music. These tunes get heavy rotation from me as they’ve made an impact on me over the years and I want to share with the fans what sonic parts of music inspire the Slow Dancing Society sound. Plus, I like turning people on to the notion of looking at artist like Bruce Springsteen and Queensryche (who most folks would never think of for ambient material) as a source to find beautiful moments in their songs.” (Drew Sullivan)
