Aftermath II is an extended release of Aftermath. It was released a week apart and it is dedicated to my personal experience of human connection and relationships while reflecting on today’s social upheaval, social justice movements, and the election. There are many important changes in our lives today, and we do have the power to change. Putting those thoughts into sounds to see if anyone will ever hear me and what elses is out there?

Trust, Fear, Anger, Distress, Disrespect

The relationships: it is combined with happiness and betrayals, abandonment, resentment and failed interpersonal communication with friends, family and strangers. We are all connected by many small events of interaction. Reflecting on myself, my weaknesses, strengths, achievements and failures.
Toxic, abuse, faceless, unclear, unknown, so many negative feelings I had at that time. We try to process yet we are supposed to keep our heads up, toughen up and move forward. 

On this album Aftermath II, I focused on expressing the negative experiences that I’ve been avoiding for a long time to come to terms with. Now I have come to accept that part of my life and move on for my own growth. I finally have had the chance to feel the pain and put all my emotions to music. Sound waves wash away all negatively and cleanse my mind.

Certainly we are living in the strangest time. For the upcoming holidays, let us celebrate and appreciate each other.
 
Reconnect - restore your values 
Repurpose - revitalize your life
Resume - remain your calm

Aftermath II

Unbothered. Keep running from your own journeys by @miiioco

Runner

Metathesiophobia, can it reduce our will to live? We have no control over other people's lives. Losing ourselves due to constant changes. You are not ready. by @miiioco

Fear of Change

Celebrate being who you are. You have the right to find yourself. by @miiioco

An Empath

That is just the truth. Fall somewhere safe, until you find your footing. Just breathe and it is okay. I am not going anywhere but you are. Taking time to save yourself, just slow down. Plant the thoughts. @miiioco

Lies

Falling to rise, the anger pushing farther, the only rhythm you can hear is your heartbeat. Beneath the emotion, you will find the chains that keep you from freedom. Breath. Scream with bare feets, hit the floor and race to get back. I say you can go back and fix the errors. by @miiioco

Addiction on the Rise

Their own drama deserves their own karma. Stand your ground. by @miiioco
