Drifting On Sundown

"It was cold and dark, but the warmth came from within. Like a burning, like a blooming of flesh and steel. Ten by ten thousand, it came and went without sound or prayer. Only light, and heat. There was never anything half as pure, never a greater antiseptic. Once the light had fled, there were only the empty homes left behind in quiet and dignity. Only rooms without light or shadow, bare of window or door."

Music for Empty Homes

“Unicorn Blessing Light” is a healing cosmic ambient–lofi track inspired by the gentle protection of a mystical unicorn. Warm pads, soft piano, subtle 528Hz and 963Hz tones and glittering chimes create a pure, sacred atmosphere. This music is perfect for wish manifestation, affirmations, meditation, energy cleansing, bedtime listening and looping in the background while you receive the unicorn’s blessing and align with your highest self.

Singularity
