I've been thinking about you my friend
Wondering if you still even think of me
Realizing how you must've felt
Wish I had a better way to offer help

La la la la la

Feeling stupid for being blind
Always had a worry running through my mind
Hope to see you someday soon
Spend some time together really

Seeing you, really
Hearing you, really
Feeling you

Oh my,
Times are hard right now
Hold on, be strong
Even though it's hard
I'll hold your hand
Tenderly I'll help
You move ~ slowly
Dance into the flow
Of Love

In perfect time ✦

In Perfect Time

“Clarity” is jazz-grunge/alternative r&b quartet Xinxin’s latest single, to be released November 11, 2023. Written over the course of several interstate trips while the band was split geographically (half living in Los Angeles, California; half in Portland, Oregon), Xinxin’s new offering explores the perspective that comes with distance and time. Separated for years, the group was ultimately strengthened by the time apart, which brought into focus their mutual commitment to and love for the project.

“Clarity” begins as a meditation on stillness and immobility in the midst of perpetual motion, before developing into an energetic and cathartic chorus where understanding, acceptance, and appreciation come into view. Ablaza vulnerably muses, “I need you, but sometimes I push away / but I’m grateful that you still choose to stay.” Musically, the song demonstrates the group’s diverse influences, including r&b, rock, and jazz.

Time keeps passing always on the go
Decided I will stay here on the floor
Pouring down the rain will let me feel
Patiently I'll wait for me to heal

Takes much more time than we usually give
Not always so easy to receive
I need you, but sometimes I push away
But I'm grateful that you still choose to stay

I swam inside
My peace of mind
I pray I stay in

Distance
Point of view
Seeing you and understanding
Why I
I was led to you

Let myself surrender to my breath
Regulated heart is the new wealth
No longer is there a need to chase the sun
I feel, I know, I trust my time will come

But it takes much more time than we usually give
Not always so easy to receive
I need you, but sometimes I push away
But I'm grateful that you still choose to stay

Distance
Point of view
Seeing you and understanding
Why I
I was led to you
