every time i decided to call it "spirit," i wrote songs about love and relationships. so then i'd name it "songs for lovers," but then i would only write songs about perception and experience. so it's both now.

this album is about my experiences and feelings, and about love, and about introspection, revolution, being scared, distance, feeling helpless, feeling hopeful, how i feel now and how i felt in the past, memories... but most importantly of all, relationships. it's about a lot. the songs have more variety than i feel i've put forward in the past, and i really tried some things different with my process this time around. it's also the first time i've sang on most of the songs, and felt comfortable with my singing voice.

i've been working on it since 2015 and it's gone through a lot of different mutations. i'm really excited to finally be able to show everyone what i've been working on for so long.

i can only really find that it sounds like it should when i'm listening to it while talking to people i love, it feels like it has that context implied in the sound of it, to me. it's my arecibo i guess. so hopefully all of you will hear that.

me and you

breaking free

drowning

january

revolution means beauty

PANIC!!

monster

when it's blue moons you're facing
and your memories erasing
i follow you...
you lead me through
cause i've never ever hurt someone like you
no i've never ever heard of someone just like you

days turn to years
centuries, i fear
the cradle built i sought of you
the moments lost in several tears

cause when you're all alone
i'll be there on the phone
to talk it through in due
to talk it through, i knew,
i knew

moons

I'm really, really excited that Sweet Trip is releasing new music. So, I'm releasing this remix... cover... thing of Dedicated, from their album velocity : design : comfort.

I did a lot of experimentation on this track in terms of synthesizing and vocals, and I really hope you enjoy it. The first time I listened to velocity : design : comfort was with my girlfriend while driving through hard mountain curves and also crying. The cover art is a photo of one of the places we saw on that trip. Hopefully I can demonstrate how much this song and band means to me.

If you know what's good for you, please support Sweet Trip! Get the velocity : design : comfort reissue. https://darla.com/products/sweet-trip-velocity-design-comfort

I know you too well, to bring out dead

I know you too well, I know you too well
Don't go

Sweet Trip - Dedicated (Somasis remix)

maddie @page-fortysix made the instrumental long ago, https://soundcloud.com/page-fortysix/you-can-rest-now-mood; i made this back in 2018 when i was working more on my singing skills and the lyrics just kinda came to me as soon as i heard the song.

~~~~

you could run forever to this land,
but we'd never live together,
and i could string across the lines
i have so much inside

and when i think of all the things we may never share,
it breaks apart the futures never beared
and i'll wait for touch, and i'll wait to feel your loving lust,
i'll wait for you

but i hope it ends soon, i can't take this monsoon
it makes me drown myself daily
i would want too much and you would give too long
i could not bear it forever

string (instrumental by @page-fortysix) (2018)
