I wrote this song on 6th December 2020.
A friend had just got Covid and I was lying awake at 4:00AM worrying about them, and thinking about how much I miss my friends.
This is for all the friends I miss.

Lyrics
I hope you are smiling sometimes,
That you see the sun when you go outside,
It’s nice to see you on the screen of my phone,
Its all been postponed,
For a long time...

I have a pile of birthday cards from you,
Been reading them when distance gets too much,
Sometimes they are the only things that
Help me make it through the day...
I hope you’re okay...

To my friend, who I’ve been missing,
I hope that you are warm.
It’s mild here in London,
But its colder there up north.

Distance made me forget the scent of your embrace,
But it sharpens every memory of a smile upon your face,
The stories from old times becoming new,
And now when I see blue,
I think of you. I think of you.

To my friend, who I’ve been missing,
I hope that you are warm.
It’s mild here in London,
But its colder there up north.

To My Friend (original song) - Kai Pearson

This track also has an AMAZING music video which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/pjRECNmYW9s

Time doesn’t just move backward and forward. It also moves side to side, branching off into parallel possibilities. Time also moves in a spiral, such that events in the past create a resonance in the future and events in the future create a resonance in the past...Tell me in the comments if you've ever had a strange experience involving time. 🧞‍♂️

This track is about the day to day cycles we, as citizens, are stuck in and how we let money rule our lives. Hope y'all enjoy <3

Here's my first little experiment with making music at home during this isolation period. Created using only my voice and sounds sampled at home.
I hope this brings at least a brief feeling of peace to your day. Thanks for listening!

1:00 AM. It's me again, singing and playing guitar and things.

The River is a song about allowing yourself to feel, and the catharsis of setting the emotions free.

Incorporates some inspirations from the orchestral version of this song (performance with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, released on 6th Sept 2020).

The River - AURORA

A calmer version of my cover of The River (AURORA) as a lullaby for a friend who is struggling to sleep lately.
