Blue in Nature

“But there must be a better way

To see a better day

I get up hella late

And wait a minute just to see if I can even

Take the day on

And if I’m saying this

I guess I did huh?

Or maybe I didn’t

And you’re just hitting play

A little bit late, well…”

April 9, 2021

How high can one's wings take them before hubris reminds us that they were only human after all? How far can one fly before the ground and sky become indiscernible from one another? “Icarus Airlines” is a self-reflective state of being that allows the listener a chance to soar between the very concept of a dream and the actuality of its existence; a presentation of certain paths with uncertain outcomes.

Testing Testing

"Testing Testing" carries with it a two-pronged perspective; the proverbial fork in the road if you will. Follow one to find yourself confined within a certain level of structure, for better or worse, while the other leans you more towards that of an almost chaotic embrace. "Testing Testing" acts in my own voice as a note to self; a reminder of my own singular presence within an otherwise boundlessly absurd reality. A tear in the ocean; a fart in the wind.

It's also kind of a banger.
