Time to Open Up (Spirits Bloom remastered)

Spirits Bloom Extended Club Mix

A prefade is when friends get together before going out for the night. Of course, one of those prefaders stays sober if we're not hailing a ride, biking or taking public transportation

Know Yourself

“spirit drum” is a cross between melodic west coast bass and tribal trap with a little bit of Dead Can Dance inspiration. 

The vocals were inspired while leading entheogenic, psychedelic, medicine circles. 

In many ways it’s based on the “ikaros”, the songs the shamans sing while hosting ceremonies. 

It’s the first of Poison Sky’s songs that was written by the EDM artsist Hawk Dannaoui who was previously our mix/mastering engineer. He and his wife host “medicine” ceremonies around the world.

The Forever Dreams music video is up now at
http://www.YouTube.com/@poisonsky –– It's  3 min long.

Alison wrote the lyrics and she describes the mood: “Forever dreams is the interminable struggle to grasp a future conceived of by someone who is desperately unhappy with their current circumstances. It describes the pain and degradation to the soul that occurs when ones own reality is rejected and odious- never to emerge from the shadow of a perhaps smothering oversize dream that there is no visible path towards“  Follow the link below to get a reminder and have the song available in your Spotify Release Radar.

Lyrics: 
Hi-flown forever dreams
Things don’t turn out the way the seem
All’s I seem to do is dream

I reach but I never grasp
I want but I never ask

Hi-flown forever dreams
Things don’t turn out the way they seem they should
All I ever do is dream

I reach, but never grasp
I want, but I never ask

High-flown forever dreams
Things don’t turn out the way the seem they should
Alls I seem to do is dream

High-flown forever dreams
Things don’t turn out the way the seem they should
All's I seem to do is dream

Pain… in my body, in my mind
Pain… keeps me from living

High-flown forever dreams
Things don’t turn out the way the seem
All’s I seem to do is dream

High-flown forever dreams
It’s all I ever do.

Forever Dreams

Thick layers of piano, muted guitar, synths and percussion layer in and out on top of a catchy breakbeat. Around 3 minutes into the song in a cameo, by Ill-Esha, flows in adding a melancholy vocal. She sums up with the lyric: "You've got through my defense". Listen now and leave some comments in the waveform!
