Space is a beautiful, vast, and lonely place. Despite its enticements, most of us are not built to withstand the solitude of that great frontier. But with your hand in mine, I think I could go anywhere.

- Dedicated to my love, my partner in life, to infinity and beyond.

Your Hand in Mine

Your Hand In Mine

So let me know
Exactly when you want me
I'll come runnin'
The minute that you call me
I'll be ready
Counting down the minutes
Can't run away now
We're too far within it
And let me in
The second that you hear me
I'll be waitin'
To hear my baby callin'
I'm already
Countin' down the hours
Too hard to shake the
Sway of your powers
Tonight

So take me
Take me away from here
And don't leave me
All alone and disappear
And save me 
Save me from the fate I fear
I get weak 
When the future's so unclear

So let me know
Exactly when you want me
I'll come runnin'
The minute that you call me
I'll be ready
Counting down the minutes
Can't run away now
We're too far within it
And let me in
The second that you hear me
I'll be waitin'
To hear my baby callin'
I'm already
Countin' down the hours
Too hard to shake the
Sway of your powers
Tonight

So take me
Take me away from here
And don't leave me
All alone and disappear
And save me 
Save me from the fate I fear
I get weak 
When the future's so unclear

So unclear

So let me know
Exactly when you want me
I'll come runnin'
The minute that you call me
I'll be ready
Counting down the minutes
Can't run away now
We're too far within it
And let me in
The second that you hear me
I'll be waitin'
To hear my baby callin'
I'm already
Countin' down the hours
Too hard to shake the
Sway of your powers
Tonight

Only a moment
When do you want it?
When are you comin'?
When do you want in?
Honey, I'm open

Outrun The Time

Music is therapy for me, first and foremost. When I say that, I mean it in every sense of the word: this hobby/obsession/lifestyle/whatever is one of the only things keeping me out of my head and present in my life. When I heard RAN's final master of this song for the first time, I wept like I haven't in a long, long time; it felt SO FUCKING GOOD to get this out of my head and into my ears and make it somehow external to myself, if even for a short while.

The Outer Darkness is where I end up when I let myself stop and listen to my own internal monologue reminding me what a useless piece of shit I am; how incapable I am of being a success, or a father, or a functional, useful human being in general; or how stupid I was to bring a child into this dying, collapsing, greedy cesspool of a planet; or how much better off everyone I love would be if I did them a favor and ceased to exist. It's foggy and cloying and pervasive and it makes even the smallest decisions or baby steps of progress insurmountable and terrifying, and most of all, it brings with it a lingering, abiding fear of things going right, because that is where disaster waits to drop me back to rock bottom if I let myself indulge in even the briefest moment of positivity.

My producer handle is Pashang 爬上, which comes from the Chinese "to climb up" or "to mount," and for me, it represents my ultimate goal in music creation: to climb up and out and away from the Outer Darkness and remember, even for a little while, that it doesn't exist everywhere all the time.

So this song is for me, and for you, if you find yourself curling your toes over the cliff face of oblivion, staring outwards and inwards at the endless expanse of nothingness and still find it within yourself to raise your voice to the universe and say "FUCK YOU, NOT TODAY." It does that for me and I hope it does for you, too. Thanks for listening.

All thanks to RAN for his amazing guitars and incredible master for the track, and to all the #synthfam out there helping and supporting each other no matter what. You all inspire me <3
