Hom Nid - Animals

"Dorothy" by Her's is a song about savoring the moments of a secret summer fling. The lyric, "Don't say that you think that they know" conjures the feeling of being worry-free and enjoying the rush of falling in love. In the bridge, it's repeated eight times to emphasize the importance of focusing on yourself and not how other people perceive your relationship. Each time I listen to "Dorothy," I'm transported to another universe, where time has stopped and I can truly enjoy an adventure spent with someone that I care about. The meaningful lyrics, enchanting guitar and groovy bass line compliment each other to create an atmosphere that brings out the magical feeling of being in a short-lived, but exciting summer fling. I personalized my cover of this song by recording and producing the vocals and instruments in my home studio.

If you’re a teen like me, I hope my take on “Right Now” reminds you to live in the moment and enjoy it despite whatever craziness might be happening in your life right now because you’re only a teenager once.

One of my friends gave me a guitar tuned unusually to an open D on Valentine's Day. I decided to mess around with it until I stumbled upon a warm chord progression which later transformed into this song. After getting feedback from my friends about my lyrics, the song transformed from one that asks about the listener's dreams into under the guise of a platonic love song.  This is also my first time recording while singing and playing, so enjoy!

When I first heard this song in my choir, the chords were so beautiful that I just had to sing this one. No regrets. The artwork I illustrated for the song relates to the way the music speaks of the ocean, beach, and sunglasses being used in both places. The vibe of the art encapsulates the desert while in the subject’s eyes, you can see the ocean. They symbolize the history of the desert, which used to be an ocean.

Tash Leung - Breath in that Juicy Immortality

Found your peace of mind? This summer, I decided to find mine by delving deep into my consciousness to figure out what could put it at ease. I wrote an instrumental song, primarily on guitar, recorded it in Garageband and mixed it in Logic. It’s a bit morbid - not meant to be played on the radio - but it embodies a place I go to clear my mind. I call this place Spades, an alternative to outer space in our universe. It is completely habitable, although there is less oxygen overall. This dimension acts as a limbo in time and space where I go to collect my thoughts. Discover Spades with me through my song "Floating Through Spades."

Alex Ventura - Floating Through Spades

This is an original song I hope captures the universal experience of losing our perception of time, a sensation we all encounter in various moments throughout our lives. I particularly connect this feeling to the cherished memories I shared with my cousin during the summers I spent in Sicily visiting family.To me this song serves as a tribute to the bittersweet nostalgia that still lingers, evoking the warmth of those sun-soaked days and the joy of our shared adventures. Through these memories, I hope to encapsulate the beauty of fleeting moments and the lasting impact they have on our hearts.
