A Personal Note from Dave Coats
The heartbeat you hear throughout “Nastasha Rae” is a recording of my son Jaeden’s prenatal heartbeat, captured on my phone during a doctor’s visit. That intimate pulse threads the album together, underscoring its deeply personal nature.
The genesis of this work began in a hospital room, moments after my wife passed away. In the raw shock of that loss, I sat beside her and began writing the first two songs. After saying a quiet goodbye, I drove home, completed the remaining lyrics, and started laying down the instrumental tracks while grappling with overwhelming grief. This process forged an album saturated with raw emotion—a testament to love, loss, and resilience.
Dedication:
To Nastasha Rae Coats (1983 – 2021).
May there be no more pain, no more suffering. Rest in peace.
