This song was inspired by the novel, Persuasion. This book was the sixth on my list of reading Jane Austen’s novels in order. It’s inspired by probably the most romantic love letter in all of fiction. I decided to change things up and focused on two characters for this song. The first verse and chorus are from Captain Wentworth’s point of view and the second verse and chorus are from Anne Elliot’s point of view. Half Agony, Half Hope is a song about rekindling lost love, a song about second chances. It’s been 8 years since Anne first rejected Wentworth’s proposal, not because she didn’t love him, but because others told her rejecting him was the right thing to do. She thought she would never love again. When she crosses paths with him again, she wonders if this could be her second chance. She also worries that she long missed that. Little does she know that Wentworth is thinking the same. As he wrote in his letter to Anne at the end of the novel, he was living in both agony over not knowing whether she still loved him after all this time, and in hope because there was a chance she did. You never want to be the person who lets “the one” get away. Wentworth and Anne almost did, but with age, time, and maturity, they learned to love again and found their way back to each other.
Throughout this EP, I made it my goal to try to be historically accurate with the music. I am a huge history nerd and wanted to only use instruments that were used in the Regency Era. This is why I steered away from brass and most woodwinds. I stuck strictly to piano, violins, cello, harp, harpsichord, English guitar, flute, and some percussion. I started off the album with the most true Regency Era sounding song and wanted to modernize the music as we went on this journey through the stories, just as Jane progressed as a writer. That’s why “Half Agony, Half Hope” is the most modern of the songs. It was the last novel Jane Austen wrote and what a legacy she left. The story of Persuasion is the perfect album closer.
“I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever.” - Captain Wentworth, Persuasion, Chapter 23
