On August 22nd 2021, the night of our 100th full moon together, I proposed to Eva with this song, a mixture of my 2 musical personalities with influences from her favourite musicians too. She said YES! WOOOOOT!

Written, performed and produced by Nick Standing [Jabun]
Recorded, mixed and mastered at JabunAudio by Nick Standing
Album artwork by Nick Standing

Sample Credits:
"Brighton [Instrumental]" - Better Than The Book (from the "Hopes and Dreams [Instrumentals]" album)
"Home" - Jabun (from the "Daydream" album)

A huge thanks goes out to Eva for being my everything buddy and now fiance, all her support during the ups and downs throughout the years, and for letting me share this track with you all. It was made for her ears but I hope you enjoy it too!

Thank you also to everyone else who's been a part of my musical journey and our relationship all these years so far too: all our family and friends, everyone who's played the music and spread the word, and my closest regular supporters on Patreon with special mention to the top tier contributors Michael White and Nathan Puray! We couldn't have got this far without all your support and I'm super excited to see (and hear) what comes next! My love to you all and thanks so much!

First met at university
We were both dressed up as characters from Bleach
You were Nanao; I was Renji

A cosplay bar-crawl though I didn’t drink
And the start of a great friendship
Between two fun-loving anime geeks

Kept in touch after I’d graduated
All those letters stamped and dated
That I waited for excitedly

’Til one day you asked to meet in London
Said you had feelings for someone
Never thought it could be me

Oh what an adventure
We’ve been on together
Let’s keep going forever

And things just get better
I want to live each day
Like it’s now or never

Fold a paper crane for every good time
Just want to be right here by your side
And I don’t need anything more

You make my heart ignite
Clear as the full moon shines so bright
You were all I was ever searching for

Been under the same roof for five years or more by now
When I first moved out to live with you
What a dream come true

And our flat stank of pigeon poop
Living on a quid a day each for food
No hot water but I had you

Great memories of Herne Bay
And our brief time in Margate
Then headed north to Rotherham and Pudsey

And I know we’ve had a few fights
And I’ve sworn at you a few times
But it’s been the best life

Oh what an adventure
We’ve been on together
Let’s keep going forever

And things just get better
I want to live each day
Like it’s now or never

Fold a paper crane for every good time
Just want to be right here by your side
And I don’t need anything more

You make my heart ignite
Clear as the full moon shines so bright
You were all I was ever searching for

You were all I was ever searching for
You were all I was ever searching for
You were all I was ever searching for
You were all I was ever searching for
You were all I was ever searching for

The William Maranci Album

As an end to this little stream of carefully selected INK 19 material (a set of daily recordings I did during the month of October 2019 now thoroughly mixed and mastered in mixtape form)I thought I'd give y'all at least one of the many acapellas therein.

Castles is maybe one of the better ones, though you just might stumble upon some other contemplative gems if you listen through all. Hope you enjoyed the set thus far and feel free to delve into it for real via the links below!

Following my improvised, semi-live, ambient and experimental 2nd album as Jabun – 15-4-20 (released December 2020), on the anniversary of its recording, I release my next experimental studio album as Jabun – Generation Supernova.

Generation Supernova is a 37+ minute collection of 4 tracks exploring generative music methods in the studio. Each track utilises a carefully designed system set up to generate a never-repeating and ever evolving soundscape which was conducted and guided to build an emotional and developing journey from the first note to the last.
