this song i made at the beginning of this month. recently something extremely impactful has been happening in my life, you can think of it as a certain encounter. without getting too personal with the backstory. i impulsively decided to release an unfinished video and unfinished mix of this song because of my internal chaos making me feel like i need to express something at all. i sort of regret it because i think this song sounds terrible, which is why i didn’t finish making an elaborate video for it (the original plan was to make an actual video and not typical slideshow) but then i started thinking that the song sucks and it’s not worth that much effort. whenever this finally sees an official album release it will have a better mix but for now i’ve stressed enough about it (and other things in my personal life) that i’ll worry about all of that later. which ultimately makes me regret publishing it out of some ridiculous emotional impulse. if you make music yourself you probably understand how it feels to be constantly discouraged about how the mix sounds , and the more you try to hyper focus on fixing it the more your ears fatigue and all of a sudden you don’t even know what anything is supposed to sound like at all. hope you enjoy it nonetheless
turning towards the shallow cascade raining from the ceiling
watching it fall over your back as it refracts the light from your skin
as you rest inside yourself
reaching your hands towards iridescent light
of the blue in your eyes
and i stare at your hands
as they become everything
somewhere writing distant words
they crystallize in the morningrise into innumerable patterns
even in such a burning desire to stand
i remain motionless
watching you
how your eyes lift into the room
I feel mirror rain slip into my hands
through my fingers
and running down my body
reaching the floor i see everything
just the mirrors in your eyes
in this moment we are discarnate
suspending in a delicate silence
only hearing the shimmering light in our eyes
this warm blue note
somehow like cold rain
wading in it
i watch your hands reach towards the color
i watch you rest your head on your shoulders
you rest your arms around yourself and you become formless
and i reach my hands towards yours
like resting our fingertips on the surface of a mirror
and our hands interlace into each other
