about

I've always had super vivid dreams and usually remember 2-3 dreams every morning. I want to make a habit of writing them down because I do believe that the subconscious has things to tell us (there are, however, some dreams I just really don't think are meant to be deciphered.) I woke up one afternoon from a realllyyy anxiety fueled stress nap. I had such a weird dream and it brought up all of these emotions regarding my partner at the time and my current state of mental health. I sat down on a chair in a patch of sunlight in my living room and this song just flowed out of me in one session. Felt good to get it out, and now I know I'm not the only one with weird dreams :) This song was my favorite one to record with Jason Kick because it was just a collaboration on weirdness. There are a lot of tiny samples in there from his huge archive and Garrett Barley on lap steel kind of adding to the confusion of the whole thing. It ended up kind of feeling like a strange, stoned, sideways tropical paradise to me.

lyrics

Woke up from a fever dream
Don’t remember what it means
but you were there and I woke up crying
Feeling alone

Can we stop talking about our bodies?
I mean i know we fit so well together
but I’d rather be a speckled feather
drifting forever

How can I stop thinking of them when I think of you?
How come when i walk down ocean all of the lights are blue
and I am too?

On a plane from New York City
The plane crashes four or five or six times
The pilot says it ‘cus a stoner got a hold of the controller

Then I’m smoking weed in bed with THEE Satisfaction
and I got three snakes tattooed on the back of my neck
When I wake up I try to figure out what these snakes mean

Why are there two sides to everything
but no one’s in the middle?
Why am I stuck between overbearing
And way, way, way, way, way too subtle?

It’s cuz I’ve been dreaming
Yeah I’ve been dreaming
It’s cuz I’ve been dreaming way too much these days
