Victory Song

Shattered Dreams

This song takes you on a darker, but colorful journey through re-discovering feeling everything. It was written during a period of time where I was struggling with the most difficult bout of depression I have ever experienced and the numbness that ensues after. “Rain” is about feeling everything again and not being afraid to go into the darker places we tend to keep buried. Its about feeling the emotions we may distract ourselves from and even avoid in order to find healing.

When I wrote “Rain” in 2020, it was quite literally raining outside as I was exiting my car to return inside my apartment. It takes me back to the re-discovery of bodily sensations that my depressive episode had hijacked. As I felt each gentle rain drop on my skin, it felt like I was in my body again and I just stood standing in the rain soaking in every sensation I was feeling. Taking in the fresh smell of the rain, the gentle breeze, and hearing the soft pitter-patter of each droplet landing on the sidewalk. Each moment of stillness had the most profound effect on me. Its with this in mind that I share this creation with you.

Raindrops on my skin
Who knows where we’ll go from here
When I breathe you in
There’s nothing else I’d rather feel
Here

Staring in my eyes
Your gaze is my redemption
Crystal pouring down
Bathe me in your darkness
Here

Take me down
Out of this oblivion
Lift my hands
Into the grey

Wash me, wash me in your saving rain

Darkness casts its clouds
Stars are far away from here
Feeling all of this
No turning back away from you
Here

Wash me, feel me, touch me, call me
Hear me, need me, free me, love me

Rain

Aftermath is my most vulnerable release yet. It is a journey through dark, ambient, yet cinematic, and electronic elements that shed light on how personal rumination takes us out of the present reality. Aftermath tells an incredibly visceral story of how ruminating on past experiences can destroy our inner equanimity.

Aftermath was written in 2016 while I was dealing with immense feelings of guilt and shame. I kept allowing my mind to delve into the past and dwell on the events that brought these feelings. This song is a reminder to both my self and others, to not let the past rob you of the beauty, peace, and joy that is in the present moment. With this message in mind, my producer Nicci Gomez and I crafted a track that feels mysterious, haunting, and reminiscent of how these thoughts slowly make their way into our conscious mind until they take over the entirety of our mental environment. Elements in this track were also inspired by the Diablo 2 soundtrack
