Formed out of the ashes of post modern suburbia I was forced to turn inward to seek solace. The general aura of an existential crisis bores right through the heart, so I escaped to my own sanctuary and created a space within myself that would be timeless. In the event of death my new existence would simply be born into the limitless expanse of true reality.
This remains true to this day, and as the earth turns I await the escape to such a beautiful existence, however for the time being I am growing and honing that space to be something viable. I am accessing the realm of the spirit and through my interpretations of my travels I bring to you the collective conglomeration of sound which is the most common medium of communication in those realms of existence.
Light and sound. Thats the essence of our existence. I try not to get to technical with my admiration of quantum mechanics, physics and metaphysics but I will say that overall, our senses as humans operate in a certain wavelength or frequency. Beyond this wavelength is infinity.
My purpose as an artist is to reach into the vast expanse beyond material existence, into the realms of imagination and produce something beyond a collage of sounds. Instead it is a soulful force That moves and heals as well as guides and provides meditation for the mind that is stuck in its own perpetual box.
Edgar Cayce predicted that music would be the medicine of the future. Well the future is certainly here and there is no shortage of new ideas or technology to prove otherwise. Music is available everywhere. It evolves us, we identify with it. It is the essence of life in motion. The flow. There will come a point when you can resist no more the forward progression that music will provide to humanity as a species.
It dissolves boundaries and clears the ego. This takes us to the crux of existence. Who we are. its simple to perpetuate our very existence through our bleak interpretations of what surrounds us but at our very core we are all unique individuals, however The Most Enlightened - identify with sound, because it illuminates the entirety of the senses.

DAYBREAK
I and I will survive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To watch you descend
While your taxi slowed
Outside my home
For the last drive by
I went 'round for to fill your sail
What a way to wake
We're cracking with the break of day
And God gave us guts
To have feelings, to spill
But why would you let them show
When they look like this
What a way to wake
What a way to wake
We're cracking with the break of day
Break the day
Break the day
With your fire light
We'll break the day
The lyrics of I and I will survive's song Daybreak describe a scene of farewell and longing. The singer went to stand in the hallway of the person they admire while they watched them descend, knowing that it would be the last time they would see them leave. The song talks about how we all have the capability of feeling deeply and expressing those emotions, but often choose to hide them because they can be difficult to express or understand. The singer then reflects on the beauty of breaking through those barriers that prevent us from being vulnerable and genuine with others. They express a desire to break the day with the fire of their love, to push past the darkness and into the light.
The lyrics in Daybreak are deeply layered with meaning and symbolism. The act of watching someone leave is often associated with heartbreak and loss, and the sense of longing in the singer's voice is palpable. They remark on the courage it takes to express our emotions openly, something that many people struggle with. The bridge, "And God gave us guts/To have feelings, to spill," is a testament to the power of vulnerability and the importance of sharing our truth with others. The chorus repeats the phrase, "What a way to wake/We're cracking with the break of day," adding to the sense of breaking free from something and moving towards the light. The use of light and darkness is also a powerful metaphor for the emotions we are experiencing.

I went 'round to stand in your hall
I went to your house and stood in the hallway
To watch you descend
I wanted to see you go down the stairs
While your taxi slowed
When your taxi started to slow down
Outside my home
In front of my house
For the last drive by
For the last time you drive by my house
I went 'round for to fill your sail
I went to give you emotional support
What a way to wake
What a great way to start the day
We're cracking with the break of day
We're becoming energized with the start of the day
And God gave us guts
We were given the courage
To have feelings, to spill
To be emotional, to express ourselves
But why would you let them show
Why would you display your emotions
When they look like this
When they might be too intense or undesirable
Break the day
Make the most of the day
With your fire light
With your passion and energy
We'll break the day
We'll make the most of the day with our energy
