about
when I was a kid I remember going to the beach and sitting in the waves, drifting. at night, as I lay in bed trying to quiet my mind and sleep, I could still feel some tidal pull rocking my body back-and-forth, like a mother trying to calm a crying child. this song is about that.

lyrics
I try to bind the windows wide, but mostly I just sleep
Curl up and wait for cobalt waves to thunder down on me
The boats that shared the coastline lie buried in the deep
So I'll float there like a corpse 'til I'm carried out to sea
I need to hoard my breath
Nurse it within my chest
Drift until I meet ground
If I arise, I'll drown.
[...]
Some nights I awake in a jolt and can't breathe
Grip desperate to blankets while grinding my teeth
Plummet from nothing to nowhere so fast
And pray the fresh crater I leave there will last.
[...]
I'll just lie here, and never grow old
I'll stay 'til all my skin gets cold
I'll wash ashore, I don't know when
But soon enough I'll walk on land again.

i found this album on bandcamp in high school, immediately ordered the vinyl, and never looked back. rhythmic, emotional, detailed, explosive. it's "mathy" without being corny. takashi kashikura >>>>> Aaron Orpheus
each little tune on this is a microcosm of every electrifying, emotionally resonant moment i've ever had. such simple instrumentals, but each one cuts right to the core at a different angle Aaron Orpheus
friend of orpheus!! BOMBASTIC art pop, ever-diverse, wild textures, lyrical twists and turns, bursting with personality. so bonkers, so colorful, so well-put-together, so easy to love!! Aaron Orpheus
