Trust Me

Hi! 

I'm launching a Patreon, and I'm going to use it to release some music that otherwise might never have been made public. 

I make lots of different kinds of music, in different styles and genres, some of which ends up getting finished. Often, these aren't styles I plan to invest in long term. So even when I like how projects come out, it's not felt appropriate to release them. 

That is, until now.

Today, I want to introduce my first Patreon exclusive release! 
Traces of What Remains!

It's an original ambient album, a collection of live improvisations which were recorded over the past two years. Each track is only one instrument (ish) and only one take (for the most part). 

This music will only be available in full through my Patreon!

For subscribing to any tier, you will receive the individual tracks, plus a gapless album mix. There are many other rewards as well. Check out the page here! https://www.patreon.com/sebastianwingmusic

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy the music.

Traces Of What Remains - Patreon Exclusive Release [Preview]

Made some new Lofi!

This came together in an afternoon, pretty much by accident.

Original photo taken in December of last year, after a big ice storm came through and made walking quite a risky business for a few days.

Sebastian Wing And Gami - Splintershock (Sebastian Wing VIP)

Don't lose sight of what we have
______________________________________________________________

I'm noticing the light these days
As it shimmers on the wall 
And I'm trying not to think too hard on how it all could change
If we just carry on

All this time, we thought we had it made
But soon enough, we learned the price we've paid
We've gone too far, and there's no turning back
So look away and let your sight fade to black


I'm noticing the light these days
As it plays among the leaves
And all that I can think, is where we're headed now
Because of what we've done

All this time, we thought we knew the truth
How sure we were, the stubborn heart of youth
But here we stand, with what we now can see
The shocking cost of what we once thought was free


I'm noticing the dark these days
As it creeps across the floor
My heart is pounding, I can barely breathe

Hubris

Lights out, caving in
But you're not even listening
I can't believe that it all rings true

Bullet charm, off the rails
The devil's lurking in the details
I can't believe that it took me this long

Pieces falling into place
Merge and simplify
Where passion and regret collide
The feelings that we've both denied

Ripples wash across your face
Break and multiply
We're caught up in a riptide
I'll meet you on the other side
(I'll meet you on the other side)


Head down, losing air
Crashing through me you're everywhere
I didn't think that you'd go this far

The more I fight the more I drown
Your heavy hands weighing me down 
Try to pretend it's not who you are

But we both know we're out of time     (Out of time)
It isn't like we haven't tried                     (Oh we've tried)
Ignoring the great divide                        (Over and over again)
Both feeling like we're justified

Ripples wash across your face             (I can't bear to see you now)
Break and multiply
We're caught up in a riptide
I'll meet you on the other side
(I'll meet you on the other side)


Searching hands reach for truth
The water is too dark to see through
I feel you near, but can't recall
How we got here

So hold tight, follow blind
You're an echo in my mind
We're caught up in a riptide
I'll meet you on the other side
(I'll meet you on the other side)

Riptide (ft. Premium Rat)

I'm on top of the world but it's never enough
I can't find room for all the stuff 
That I wanna get done in an average day
I feel so guilty when I play

I know I've got to rest but I feel so weak
When I'm not working 80 hours a week
To pay my bills 
Like everybody else

And I'm one in a million or so they say
But I'm just trying to make it through the day
And I'm hoping to god that I'll be okay
But I can't help the sinking feeling in my chest

Guess I'm feeling blessed?

The ice caps melting every year
The constant politics of fear
Not to mention being locked up in our homes
Leaving us frightened and alone

And companies trying to extract
What little money we have left
By running ads
On every single screen

And we're one in a million or so they say
But we're all just trying to make it through the day
And I'm hoping to god that we'll be okay
But I can't help feeling like it's all gone cold

When did we get so old?

It's a boring apocalypse
It's a boring apocalypse
It's a boring apocalypse
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah 

And we're one in a million or so they say
But we're all just trying to make it through the day
And I'm hoping to god that we'll be okay
But I can't help feeling like it's all gone cold

Boring Apocalypse

If you go behind the waterfall in the oasis there's a powerup

Desert Level

You'll be happier if you forgive. Sometimes easier said than done.
______________________________________________________________

I remember last fall
By the time we met it was already getting dark
With your scarf wrapped around your shoulders you looked so cold
I guess it was right about then that it looked like snow
The wind picking up your hair, and I said
"What unreasonable weather" and you said
"That's gotta be a bad sign of things to come"
Things to come
Things to come

The smell - 
Of breakfast in your kitchen at three pm
Wondering when you'd see us as more than friends
Writing in your notebook with a stolen pen
You told me to open wide, and I thought
"This is too good to be real"
Huh -
How funny it all seems now how right I was
How right I was
In light of us

It could have been so easy to let you go
If I had only known
Before this thing had grown
Would it have been so hard just to let me know
Without the touch and go
Before I fell so hard?

Yeah I remember it well
Moving into your new apartment I couldn't tell
I guess I was hypnotized by your new car smell
For all I knew it seemed like we were doing well
And maybe that was green, 
But I'm still feeling childishly bitter, 
Cos you had already made up your mind on what we were
On what we were
On what we were
On what we were

(You know I really did love you)
(It kinda hurts to admit it)
(Given how everything turned out)

Last Fall

Blink and you’ll miss it
The sound of the rain on the roof 
And the warmth of the fire 
Look before it’s over
Listen to the bugs in the summer
And smell all the violets in spring

It’s all ending

Every moment in time follows
One by one into the past
We’re all dying
Some go quicker than others
So savor each other 

Pay attention                          and try to remember to breathe
Stop and listen to your heart and try to go where it leads you
We’re all trying                       so be gentle as much as you can
Accidentally divine                 as we try to find where to begin

Try to be patient
It’s not a race to be winning
This life that we’re given
Stay in this moment
Trust in yourself for the future
And let the past be what it will

Don’t be tempted 
It’s not worth it to worry,
And regrets only sour what’s left
Be contented
With all that you have
Look around you and see for yourself

Pay attention                          and try to remember to breathe
Stop and listen to your heart and try to go where it leads you
We’re all trying                       so be gentle as much as you can
Accidentally divine                 as we try to find where to begin

(As we try to find where to begin)
(As we try to find where to begin)
(As we try to find where to begin)

As we try to find how

To pay attention                                    and remember to breathe
To listen to our hearts                        and to go where they lead 
We’re all trying         and we've learned to be gentle somehow
Accidentally we've found all we need to know where to begin

Blink

As we move forward, don't forget where we came from.

Futureproof

Reach The End

One step in front of the other - keep taking the next step and you'll be there before you know it. 
_________________________________________________________________________
Sometimes I wonder
In the dead of night
If I'll ever make it
To the other side

My heart is brittle
And my brain is fried
And then I remember

I'm just riding on the wave
I'm not in control
I don't choose my destination

And you'd think that I'd be scared
It's just not how it is
In fact I feel serene

I'm gliding towards some kind of truth
That my mind is still too young to comprehend
But while I'm in the blossom of my youth
I'll pretend that I've got some kind of clue

Of what I'm here to do

And although the wave is strong
My mind is still my own
I decide which way to look
And how to judge what I am shown
As the moon begets the tide
So my point of view conceives 
My experience of life
How I feel is what I believe

I'm just riding on the wave
But loosing control
It's blessing more than burden

Someday purpose will find me
I'm just biding my time
Try'n'a be the best I can be

Cos I'm gliding towards some kind of truth
That some day I may just start to comprehend
But while I have the fire of my youth
I'll keep trying desperately to follow through

With what I'm here to do
