Moment of Respite

a burning ambition

when i was younger, i thought the world would fall to my feet
but the older i get it seems, the more i know the less i see!
something calling in the distance "run as fast as your legs will carry"
i hear it every night in my dreams, the pull gets stronger whenever i
think about it
should i give it all away? chase the sunrise through the forest to the sea?
search for the missing pieces of myself in the gray? follow the compass in the stars?

i won't make myself let it go! 
the howling wind beckons from the depths of my soul
from the tops of the mountains to the world below
oh i won't make myself let it go!

ohh, can you hear it? the fading echoes in the distance?
ohh, can you feel it? that there must be something more than this
ohh, can you hear it? the fading echoes in the distance?
ohh, can you feel it? that there must be something more than this!

the calling

Returning Home

@abnovark @artstate_music

From February 1st to 2nd, 2025, 449 musicians and 24 visual artists came together to challenge themselves: 18 hours to create cover art and supplementary branding, and 18 hours to produce songs between 50 and 70 seconds-- no more, no less. A major challenge, but a welcome one. The resulting 66 tracks consist of some of the most high-energy, creative, and fun music that the FORM community has to offer.

During times of stress, fear, and worry, art is what keeps us going. It can be an enormous tool for good or simply a small glimmer of hope in an otherwise dark time. If any%: Level 2 is a testament to anything, it's our ability to keep getting back up and finding joy wherever we can. Our lust for life is what helps us fight for those around us and for causes that matter to us, which in turn enables us to create more and more art forevermore. Start that project that's been in the back of your mind. Pick up a skill you've been meaning to acquire. Try something new and allow yourself to fail. There is so much triumph to be found in our art, and so much art to be found in our triumph.

All proceeds from any%: Level 2 will be donated to CHADS, a nonprofit dedicated to awareness, prevention, and programs surrounding depression and suicide.

lyric:

If the heart’s bigger than the sea
And the world turns in and out
Somehow I want to believe
In your laugh without a sound
But they say they come aplenty
Every footstep feels so empty
All the places we've yet to meet
My hands have yet to reach

Finding so innocent
The future we were meant
To find in a bottle sent
To the shores of distant men
And it'll say
“I'll love you one day”

I'll learn all
If it means the path becomes
One and only
Heaven comes my way
And if you fall
Faster than the night and sun
Will we meet again at the edge of fate?
At the end of age?

Will we meet, will we meet
Will we meet again?
Will we meet, will we meet
Will we meet again?
If the heart's bigger than the city
Why does it feel like it's a pity
This room is just me and me
But there's space for someone I need
And in some way
I hide until I change
The ghost of the words of everything
That face in the mirror fades

I find it magnificent
That you were the one who went
And opened the bottle meant
For the shores of distant men
And you'll say
You'll learn to love one day

I'll learn all
If it means the path becomes
One and only
Heaven comes my way
And if you fall
Faster than the night and sun
Will we meet again at the edge of fate?
At the end of age?

Will we meet again?
Will we meet again?
Will you be- Again?
Will you meet again

you, again. / feat ITSU
