Lucid

O little boy, hiding away from reality
Crouched tight with eyes closed
Dreaming without the need for sleep
Being far away amongst the stars
Pokémon and all
Go now child
Be free.

This started out as an idea that was given to me in my kitchen while baking Orange Chocolate Muffins around this time last year. I instantly began making this project to capture the feeling of bliss I was having, and that I was sad that eventually it was going to be over. As time progressed and I got older, I found myself dealing with loss and hardships within my life. So, the core concept of this project changed over time, instead of trying to immortalize that day and feeling, it changed to show that people would rather latch onto a time in the past that felt good instead of enjoying the time that they are experiencing right now, a phenomenon as old as time. So, I draw the comparison to baking those Chocolate Orange Muffins, about how I wish to be stuck in that bliss moment for as long as I can, but as we know, time continues to march on. So, instead of trying to hold on to fleeting time, let it go instead and take life as it is given. There is happiness out there, don't dwell on what has already happened. So, it ends with the track titled “Leaving” which fades into a song that I heard on the radio on my way back from picking up a Lemon Manrique for my mother’s tea, when I came to the realisation of what this Project should really be about.

The Orange Muffin track was supposed to be a one off, but the others are added as an afterthought to try and tie in as much of the concept as possible. Notice how the clock ticking is present throughout. But I really hope you enjoy it! I hope that the swurl break was something you'd enjoy too. And thank you for this wonderful idea.
