Dominic Romano reveals the timeless power of love and beauty in building a life together in his new indie-folk single, “Framework.” The song starts with brilliant acoustic guitar fingerpicking, setting an instant state of calm and musing. Dominic’s warm voice follows closely as he weaves a story, sweeping listeners into daydreams.
“Framework” becomes a collaboration of two producer talents, Dominic Romano and Tall Acre. As one, they weave a tale about companionship and intimate moments in life within the metaphorical framework of a new house. The theme of settling down in a new home becomes an analogy to the pathos of life, sweet and bitter on this journey through existence.
This combined open-picked guitar and touching lyricism set a mood so fragile, personally and universally felt. It builds from a personal acoustic intimacy in the first verse into a massive final chorus that calls out to the world. The harmonies and layered vocals give an ambient, rich texture that can transport you into a different place.
The making of “Framework” is an expression of the seamless synergy between Dominic Romano and Tall Acre. Even though they were on opposite sides of the world, Dominic in Northern California and Tall Acre in the UK, their writing sessions together were magical. The entire production process was completed remotely, with writing sessions over video calls and each taking turns to add and revise elements of the production. The result is a harmonious and beautiful piece that reflects the best of both artists.
“‘Framework’ is a journey through love and the pace of life’s changes,” Tall Acre said. “It’s about holding onto that deep love, even as we transition through different stages of life.” Dominic Romano added, “There’s nothing quite like collaborating with another producer—getting to co-create with Tall Acre was a joy, and the sound and story we made is something I’ll remain proud of for a long time.”
This precious indie-folk song encapsulates the mood of building a life together, set within the narrative framework of a new house. The ambiance, along with Dominic’s honest lyricism, sews into a lush, layered production, making “Framework” an exceptional song that calls its audience to take a moment for their journey—a moment of love that sustains across each bend of life.
