if you only knew the weight on my back feel like an asthma attack
maybe im the same but overgrown, how would you know?
how could you know?
and i try to be what you want me to be
what you want from me 
never fit the scenery
aint s'pose to be here
lost count alla the times
nearly died
talkin to the dead (im talkin to em)
yea i found myself living among them
living among the dead
im living among the dead

sorting around w my genes aint in tune with no scene
just me myself n i
the way it's always been and that's fine
BUT NO
i got my family soaring thru me
physically mentally
all the pictures i see
im sortin round with genes!
i cant be
instead im feeling all the way you left me dead
red eyes shine in my feet
you try to tear me down but i cant be beat

Smoke Sign

There’s a space between
who you were
and who you’re becoming.
It’s quiet there.
Uncomfortable.
Lonely, sometimes.

You’ve outgrown the old version of you…
but the new one
hasn’t fully arrived yet.

It’s the moment
between the inhale and the exhale.
The pause
before you choose different.
The ache
of not quite belonging
to who you used to be.

This is the stretch.
The shedding.
The waiting.

But listen—
it’s still holy.
Even this.
Even the in-between
deserves your gentleness.

You’re not lost.
You’re not behind.
You’re just in the middle
of becoming
something beautiful.

In Between

I got to play an unexpected interlude set between two friends at the opening for a new art workshop space and relished the moment- a cathartic release, acknowledgement of the magic in everything.

Here's an expression of my current state of mind at large.

Sorry it had to end so soon, I only had 30 minutes including technical difficulties on startup; so here it is, but there'll be more soon-soon => coming now-now. 

"Dankie vir die goie mense in my lewe, die waarvoor ek lief is, en die waarvoor ek lief is maar nie genoeg sien nie, ek mis julle. Ek sien uit vir 'n tyd waar ons almal saam kan wees, waar ons met passie, energie vol vreugde, en opgewondenheid kan daans. Sien jou later, vom vind my voor die apocalypse now-now waar ons die sonsondegang van die lewe saam kan kyk terwyl ons die sonstrale geniet en memories maak." -Uie

Thoughts
(experimental)
Exploring "Une maison"
I'm wrestling with the imagery of "Une maison quelque part." The core feeling I want to capture is a sense of longing for a place that perhaps never was. I'm focusing on crafting a narrative that feels both familiar and elusive, grounding the listener in emotion rather than a concrete location. It's a journey into imagined memories, a wistful exploration.
Delving Deeper into Memory
I'm continuing to explore the "Une maison" idea. It's becoming less about a literal house and more about the feeling of a place lost to time. The Californian light, the heat shimmering off the desert, it's all starting to weave into the music itself. The ethereal guitar, layered vocals... they're becoming the echoes of imagined children, laughter in the dust. This is turning into a personal mythology.

Interpreting EP's Essence
I'm currently dwelling on the EP's meaning, trying to grasp its core message. Considering the validated elements, I'm focusing on their implications and interconnections. The challenge is to distill the essence of the EP, capturing the emotional resonance and intended impact. I'm exploring how these elements coalesce to form a cohesive whole.
Dissecting Past and Present
I'm starting to see the "house" as a feeling, a fleeting memory of a place that might be more dream than reality. California's sun-drenched haze seeps in, a backdrop for this uncertain past. The folk-tinged music feels right, the layered vocals echoing whispers from a forgotten era. Are the children the ghosts of possibility? Or symbols of lost innocence, their laughter resonating through dusty corners?
Mapping the Unseen
I'm starting to wonder if the music is a map of a feeling, not a place. The "house" isn't a physical structure, but an emotional echo. California's light bleeds in, less a location, more a state of mind. Is this about memory, or the act of remembering? The children's laughter, are they reminders of joy lost or never found? And the songs, are they pathways to forgotten dreams?
