This is a spur of the moment EP made to mark this special occasion in our calendar history. I chose to sing about the thing I care about most at this point in time since the album is about time.
Time is a recurring theme in my lyrics and it is a precious thing that I have seen slip away from me. I am not sure I spend my time wisely but I try my best to ensure each moment is as peaceful as it can be until the next. I shy away from pain unless I know it can teach me and even then I am strategic. Because I value my time and I want to invest it in things that bring joy and are sustainable.
In my song "Fun" I say: 1 for the money, 2 for the show, 3 to pull me back out of the undertow.
These songs fall in line. When I speak about the oasis I want to build in track 3 it is a plan I truly have where I want to have a space that fosters creativity and love of nature and fellow humans. This space is something I am building toward with everything I can and if I cannot make it, I hope others do. We need these spaces to rehabilitate ourselves and rewild ourselves.
Happy 22-2-22. This is the time for second chances. The time to turn things around. Please listen and enjoy. Then do what your heart tells you to do. Agitate, spread information, join a group, contribute your talents, ideate, be a product tester for ecological innovations, divest and invest wisely, vote with your dollars, get informed and seek out inspiration and hope wherever you can. This is definitely worth fighting for and it's our time to stand up.

This is some of the first music I have made since the pandemic and my preceding shift in mental state. There is still some fragility and I think that is worth keeping record of and using as a reference point in the future for comparison.
