A song from the musical "All Boxed Up".
This is sung by a houseplant and its owner, a timid lady named Dahlia. The song expresses their desire to wander outside their apartment and experience more of life.

PLANT
Sometimes I wonder if rain has a smell,
if trees can touch rainbows,
if I could as well.

Sometimes I wonder 'bout the birds and the bees.
How do they fly
and not get lost in the breeze?

I sit in my pot on this ledge, looking out.
Sometimes just wondering about...

Growing like the tallest trees,
showing how strong I can be.
In this pot, there's not a lot
of space to stretch and reach.

Feeling the sun on my face,
dancing with the wind and the rain.
I might wilt, or I might tilt,
or I might bloom - just wait!

DAHLIA
Sometimes I wonder how good it is here.
At least it's familiar, 
staying year after year.

Sometimes I'm happy to be all alone,
just me and my thoughts,
in a place of my own.

But there's not enough sun,
and there's no friends or fun,
maybe it's time to break free.

(ensemble joins in)	
So I'll grab the keys and turn the lock.
I'm out the door and down the block.
Straight to the park, full of trees with thick bark,
plant myself and now I'm finally...

ALL
Growing like the tallest trees,
showing how strong I can be.
In this pot, there's not a lot
of space to stretch and reach.

Feeling the sun on my face,
dancing with the wind and the rain.
I might wilt, or I might tilt,
or I might bloom - just wait!

PLANT + DAHLIA
Sometimes I wonder if rain has a smell,
if trees can touch rainbows,
if I could as well.

"a deep. wistful, nostalgic sense of longing for home; a yearning grief for people and things long gone"

Well there we go, another EP :)! This one is a bit different than the last one, its not lofi, its not rly hiphopbeatthingwhateveryouwannacallit, its more subtle, more ambient and melancholic I guess. It's more of a personal album, as it does showcase some different emotional stages that I have gone through in the last couple of months, it has been a rollercoaster and it still kind of is, but oh well.
In any case, hope you enjoy these tracks. And I hope they appeal to a larger audience, and I especially hope that some people can relate to these tracks, and maybe even find some sort of comfort in at least one of them. PEACEEEEEEE

VIDEO GAMES by @lanadelrey 🎮
My friend @yeujia came up with this brilliant arrangement of Video Games with Philip Glass-inspired piano accompaniment and asked me to sing on it ☺️ It’s pretty amazing to collab with someone far far away (Singapore -> NYC). After weeks of back-and-forth on this, we are happy to share our little piece with you. Thank you to Lloyd Kikoler for recording/mixing it.
