Name: Sense (orig. demo) by dao strom
Duration: 4 min 11 s
Description: Pulling together a list for new songs that have been forming over the past few years. Songs with one-word titles. Songs that are for me and no other country, maybe... Some of these are rough demos, first takes, catching the song as it was forming. More to come.

Nuanced and haunting piece! :) Beautifully written lyrics, and sublime vocal!

Sense (orig. demo)

All I want is to be unapologetically honest. 
Radical softness, in my dreams. 
All I want is for you to stop being dishonest. 
My voice echoes through my mind, my silent screams. 
Tearing myself apart, I see you in my dreams. 
I miss, I kiss you, I want you, I hate you. 
Won't play along with your childish schemes.

I can't remember what its like to hold your hand. 
Feeling the earth breaking away from where I stand. 
I see the look on your face, wondering if I'm out of place yeah.
Is it normal to think of you a lot? 
Kissing while yelling, loving while we fought. 
You're like the waves pushing and pulling, it wasn't love who we were fooling.

dao strom is an artist who works with three “voices”—written, sung, visual—to explore hybridity and contemplate the intersection of personal and collective histories. Using practices of polyvocality, fragmentation, and (re)assemblage, strom writes arrangements of poetry, music, lyric essay, image fragments, song and sound, layering voices and their echoes aurally, to be experienced as installation, videos, performance, music, multimedia, and inside the spaces of a book. Her latest work is a book/album project, INSTRUMENT/TRAVELER'S ODE, to be released in Fall 2020 by Fonograf Editions & Antiquated Future Records. 

She is also the author of a bilingual poetry-art book, You Will Always Be Someone From Somewhere Else (AJAR, 2018) and an experimental memoir, We Were Meant To Be a Gentle People + song-cycle, East/West (2015).
