Yo what up everyone! I'm super stoked to release an unmixed version of one of the upcoming collab projects I alluded to in my last post. It's an original song written, recorded, and sang on by me, with a rap verse written and recorded by @d-pend. I got the inspiration to create this piece after a powerful dream experience where I was having pleasant interactions with others, but upon arising I realized it was all just aspects of myself. I really hope you enjoy and would love to hear any feedback you have on it. Here's the link to the audio:

► Listen on DSound

Chorus lyrics

.
It's hard to go into the corners of my mind,
It's hard to go and take my mind all alone
In my mind I'm so alone.

Verse lyrics

.
Falling soft in the hammock of slumber
The insidious, the beautiful, the mind-number
(Sleep, with its luminous shadow that
Sinks the eyes into a fantasy ethereal meadow)
Draws me in again.

Suddenly taken aback by odd aspect of blackness
That assails me with lack attacks merciless barrage.
  Former contentment is vanished behind the scenes,
A vague oasis, insubstantial mirage.

Serenity distant feeling uncertain, the curtain drawn,
Down in the mental sludge swamp all the beauty’s gone.
Just a false front, uncentered central node mental nexus
Fractal moon portal launching through the solar plexus
Keying in the cosmic code, we teleport,
Ascend through aspiration to transcend all limitation,
Gather deep resolve, dedicate to raising our vibration.

On a pinnacle, alone stumbling through a minefield
Of the unhealed traumas that haunt us, sauntering about
Strutting round the edgy corners of the mind,
Til we rise and command for them to “get thee behind,”
Illusions sinister that weave evil dreams.
We feel alone, despite the truth
Within that sings that all is one.

My response to this is OMG because I have limited words to describe how awesome this is.....took me to the vastness of the cosmos. And the lyrics were monumentally fresh and medicine to my soul.

Your input is always welcome and valued, @taliakerch! My sincerest thanks for listening!
Two conscious efforts channelled together will always yield a more powerful and flavorful result than one conscious effort, I think!
Feel free to share your thoughts with me as well! :)

And, it would seem as though we are friends in life, wouldn't it? ;-)
