a reunion <3

from the sea, to the stars
a lucent stream of light in my heart
many were the years as i waited for you here
an afterimage sitting restless in your place
i traced fading dotted lines across the vacant night sky
waiting patient for your welcome embrace

from the sea, to the stars

a sundial

tracing your paws along the trees
whispering static out of the creek
nobody around as you walk the path, back home
hum to yourself as you pick up the leafs
falling around you in the autumn breeze
this is something to cherish, something to never let go

someday soon, the wretched world will lay its hands on you
sculpt your soul into a visage, and when you look back on this you'll miss it
somewhere below, a hidden world that you'll never know
so as you grow keep your eyes up to the sky
my little light!

many moons and suns go by, orion dips below the horizon
leaving you alone in the forest in the night
since that autumn its been some time, you're now a person in your own right
as you watch the dawn break against the calloused rock face
there must be something on your mind
you changed somewhere along the line
spending all your days alone in the forest
i know the future seems so far but when you get there it'll get hard
i don't wanna scare you but i just want you to know that

someday soon, the wretched world will lay its hands on you
sculpt your soul into a visage, and when you look back on this you'll miss it
somewhere below, a hidden world that you'll never know
so as you grow keep your eyes up to the sky
my little light!

little light

in lieu 

you woke up on the shoreline barely breathing in the night as the moonlit sky gave way to the sun
your chest rising and falling like the tide 
should you take this as a sign that someone out there is watching?

do you feel it?
something missing deep within you snatched from the tip of your fingers
can you hear it?
beneath the roaring of the waves 
a timid quiet whisper

so you got up on your feet
said goodbye to the glimmering sea
and thanked the heavens above for your safety
and as the days turned into weeks she told her family all she’d seen but they weren’t too keen on believing
i wish that i couldve said goodbye 
and had the chance to kiss her goodnight 
but the time has come for the curtains to be closed
even though im gone ill be right here
itll only be a few more years 
so worry not my love im with you always

do you feel it?
something missing deep within you snatched from the tip of your fingers
can you hear it?
beneath the roaring of the waves 
a timid quiet whisper

something missing

a burning ambition

when i was younger, i thought the world would fall to my feet
but the older i get it seems, the more i know the less i see!
something calling in the distance "run as fast as your legs will carry"
i hear it every night in my dreams, the pull gets stronger whenever i
think about it
should i give it all away? chase the sunrise through the forest to the sea?
search for the missing pieces of myself in the gray? follow the compass in the stars?

i won't make myself let it go! 
the howling wind beckons from the depths of my soul
from the tops of the mountains to the world below
oh i won't make myself let it go!

ohh, can you hear it? the fading echoes in the distance?
ohh, can you feel it? that there must be something more than this
ohh, can you hear it? the fading echoes in the distance?
ohh, can you feel it? that there must be something more than this!

the calling

From August 10th to August 11th, 2024, over 1,000 creatives woke up early, clocked out of work, gathered with friends, and prepared for the 24-hour challenge to come. As submissions roll in, the day passes in the blink of an eye. Musicians put their final touches on their songs, passing around the master file for one final polish from all collaborators. Visual artists eagerly await for the few final minutes of their render to pass with no issues. All participants take one big, deep breath as they upload their files and hit "Submit". Out of 562 music submissions and 71 art submissions, 45 shining tracks and one cover design were selected and organized with care into one final album. It captures a glimpse of the evolving creativity not just of our community, but of creatives everywhere.

First and foremost, All Nighter is about joy; the payoff is well worth it, but the purpose is in the process. It's so much more than making a song or cover art with a friend—it's human connection. It's learning how to push yourself beyond your creative limits. It's taking pride in your hard work. It's meeting new people who happen to love the same musicians and artists as you. Creating what makes you happy is a joy that keeps the wheels of creativity turning; we all owe it to ourselves to love what we make, and make what we love.

All proceeds from All Nighter, Vol. 9 will be donated to the National Alliance for Eating Disorders, a charity that provides referrals, education, and support to individuals experiencing eating disorders and their loved ones.

Lyrics:
I can do whatever u want!
so take me to ur heart!
so I can see how u work,
and find out who u really are
ur so talented and yet ur just like me!
what makes us so different? u think differently

its not a secret so, why do u keep it?
i wanna hear all about u
and then u look away, chose secrecy today
u have the key, can't u teach me??

practice isnt hard, ur eyes are on the stars
whatever i give up, our interests are apart, 
i'll just go find another way, and i can't wait to make u say

wow you worked so hard! ur eyes were on the stars,
i'm better than u were, im worse now than u are
i still end up falling behind, even after all this time?

I can do whatever u want!
so take me to ur heart!
so I can see how u work,
and find out who u really are
ur so talented and yet ur just like me!
what makes you so special, that's your specialty

thinking differently, you're a different me

it's not a secret so, why do I keep it?
that's what u said, effortlessly
you wanna know so bad? If so I'll tell u that
I have the key

I can do whatever u want!
so take me to ur heart!
so I can see how u work,
and find out who u really are
ur so talented and yet ur just like me!
I'm closing the distance to a different me
