A song of hopeful journey toward a new life on the frontier, cut short by tragedy.

Ascension

“Sonderlust” is an album forged through heartbreak. After his two previous studio albums (”151”a & “Lighght”) and his “String Quartet Live!” release, Kishi Bashi was at a musical impasse. “As I sat down to write songs last summer, I went to all my usual conduits of creation: violin loops, guitar, piano, and I came up with the musical equivalent of fumes”, says K Ishibashi. “I tried to create orchestral pop recordings that I assumed were my forte, and in turn I found myself standing in front of a creative wall of frightening heights.”

At this very same moment of musical uncertainty, K’s personal life was falling apart... He and his wife of 13 years had briefly separated and were struggling to keep their marriage together. In his own words, “Touring and its accompanying lifestyle took a heavy toll on my soul and my family”. As an outlet, K submerged himself in a new musical direction. Sonderlust emerged as a direct result of this personal struggle taking place at an artistic cross- roads.

With the help of producer Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear), engineer Pat Dillet (Angelique Kidjo, David Byrne) and drummer Matt Chamberlain (Morrissey, Fiona Apple, of Montreal), Kishi Bashi has created his most personal and artistically adventurous work to date. “This album is straight from my soul. I questioned everything about what it means to love and desire. The differ- ence between loving someone and being in love.”

Lyrics:
Guy Fieri, searching for someone, looking for something else 
Guy Fieri, losing your grip and nothing can break your fall 

What it meant, what I told you 
Why I was left in the dark 
When Guy Fieri came home 

And the hurt, when you ran away 
You left and it tore us apart 
When Guy Fieri came home 

Guy Fieri, reaching and stumbling, back on your feet again 
Feeling hungry, lonely and trapped in a world so impermanent 

Guy Fieri, memories fade but, you were my source of strength 
I wasn’t ready, we were victims of change, a feeling so strange, it won’t go away 

Now you’re here, and I’m sinking 
A fire that burns in my heart 
When Guy Fieri came home no more waiting 

And it felt, like a rainstorm 
And you became every drop 
When Guy Fieri came home 

It was the dishes that had we made together 
It was the dreams and the plans, from now ‘til the last breath 
They were the pages that we had turned together 
And the nights that I hoped would last forever 

And Guy Fieri drove until the tension unwound 
Exploring FlavorTown, the sights and smells all around 
You left the world behind, a son who wouldn’t even know 
Just who you are, the frosted tips, your culinary crown 

It was the dishes that had we made together 
It was the dreams and the plans, from now ‘til the last breath 
They were the pages that we had turned together 
You left me simmering, sauteed, ruined forever 

I just couldn’t know 
What would bring you home, Mr. Fieri 

Flavor makes you whole 
It is in your soul, Mr. Fieri 

Mr. Fieri 
Mr. Fieri
