We wrote this imagining standing at the precipice of death, and, as your life flashes before your eyes, all of your prized memories replay - every priceless memory snapshot: the exhilaration and thrill of falling in love, of seeing a newborn, of losing a loved one and putting a parent or child to rest, the sunrises and sunsets that were seared into your eyes, and the stolen glances and deep locked eyes you could never forget.
Truly, nostalgic meditation - and then, you take your last breath - and time, too, leaves you.

Powerless (Acoustic)

When you lose what you love most dearly, what becomes of you - do you wither or blossom through it all

Orpheus Song | Dust House Performance

As Oscar and I are both celebrating our birthdays, we are so so grateful and we are celebrating our band BUSH JUMPING will begin recording our first EP at Stanwood Studio! 

FRESHLY PRESSED: ORPHEUS SONG,  mixed and mastered from our recent livestreamed performance set at the New Wave Digital Music Festival, just as the world was beginning to hide away during COVID-19. 

ORPHEUS SONG
They'll sing a song
That makes Immortals cry
To prove my love
I'll sing this song for you

Please take my hand
and DON'T LOOK BACK

To prove my love
I'll descend to Hades
With lyre in hand
I'll play for just one wish

Please take my hand
and DON'T LOOK BACK

I'm sorry that I let you go
I'm sorry I lost you so
I'm sorry I loved you so
I'm sorry I got torn to shreds
This love will never end
And now you know

I'M YOURS
Alone
All alone

BUSH JUMPING is an Atlanta based art-rock group with Oscar Funes on guitar and Kris Cruz on lyrics and vocals.  

Inspired by the greats of the Renaissance, Kris founded BUSH JUMPING as an artist collective hub for multi-genre creatives to collaborate in film and music competitions.  Over the last decade, with Kris as Director/Cinematographer and Oscar as a mainstay on music scores, the collective won various awards with a body of work emphasizing hyper-drama performances.  

Drawing from a shared love for indie, alternative, and rock genres, they began to write music characterized by emotive performances and cinematic soundscapes.  With Oscar's experience performing in multiple bands and genres fused with Kris' backgrounds in poetry, theater, and shamanism, their music focuses on intimate real-world experiences of suffering and love in relationships, and the truths ultimately unveiled. Though sharing such personal memories, they focus still on the universal human story, allowing each listener to draw upon their own experiences.  

The soul-cry energy charging the vocals and melodic ballads truly seek to affect a healing emotional purge, while reminding listeners they are never alone in sharing the feels-heavy vibes. 

Thus, together, BUSH JUMPERS are the lovers and dreamers: souls on journeys of re-awakening spirit.  They challenge all to find courage, fearlessly celebrate life, and take the JUMP to join them on this adventure manifesting the New Renaissance!
