Cartoon Dreams - Demo

Everyone is mania in general. A gentle nod to one of my favorite songs by toe called ‘Goodbye.’ We’re in very unprecedented times and I’ve been fortunate enough to grow immensely in this time period. I nearly abandoned music. I nearly abandoned the one thing that gave me so much purpose for waking up everyday all because of a bad breakup/indefinite hiatus with a band (RIP Mirage) that I wanted to marry. In any case, it feels amazing to be on the other side of that now. Everyone is mania in general. It’s true. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. We all have moments of despair and feeling like we’re out of our bodies - like we’re not ourselves. A global pandemic absolutely accentuates that phenomenon. I’ve had the privilege of exploring my gender and adopting an entire aspect of my personality I previously found inaccessible. I discovered makeup and experimented quite a bit. Taking a little break from music allowed me to realize that unhealthy, unmetered obsessions can very easily turn something beautiful that you adore into something ugly that you despise. I started noticing this quite a bit in the fashion and beauty world and realized that there likely doesn’t exist a single creative field that’s immune to this.
I’ve sat on these songs for awhile. They’re not anything particularly special from the massive backlog of ideas I have (I still love them loads), but really they serve more as a symbolic gesture of just putting myself out there more frequently while leaving perfectionism by the wayside. So, embrace your mania when it comes and enjoy these tracks while you blow dry your hair, mow the lawn, or direct air traffic.
