This song is a dark dream journey into the power of the subconscious- written partly in a dream and with Japanese back up vocals.
This song is a dark journey into the power of the subconscious- written partly in a dream I had where I was floating over farmland in Japan. Farmers were working the land and planting seeds: quite literally but perhaps they were also the seeds of my mind, where we bury things. I quickly turned this dream into a nightmare as I delved deeper and deeper into my own psyche. A darkly humorous song to heal and accept ones shadow self and the darkness we all must face in this chaotic world. My brother has been living in Japan for the past 3 years and helped me translate the song into Japanese. The original version of my song can be found on Youtube on my ali-inka channel- a dark jazzy pop epic off the Album Turbo (2020). This is a stand alone version, part of the a.i 2.0 project.
