Aphantasia is the spectrum of inability to see images in one's "mind's eye." I only ever see anything right before I fall asleep. This song is about that.
Movie shot on color film
Achromatic sets and lights on dim
Plain flat walls in close up zooms
Long slow pans across an empty room
I’ve been tired
I’ve been buzzing like a swarm of bees
In these vivid dreams that always come to me
In color but bleak
Dream a geometric thought
Aphantasic aches for everything I saw
Edge of thought and edge of sight
Long slow headache colors spin behind my eyes at night
I’ve been hopeless
I’ve been focused as a swarm of bees
In these vivid dreams that always come to me
I’ve been angry
I’ve been empty as a swarm of bees
In these vivid dreams that always come to me
In color but bleak

This is really relaxing to listen to. A nice slow drum line, slow and sonorous vocals... Yes. Relaxing.
Really nice song. Nice work!

Wow, this is so catchy. Simultaneously super poppy but with a very melancholy undertone. Really good mix and production too. Well done.

Hey man, this is really great. Keep on doing what you do, it's good stuff. Especially liked the keys on this one.
I saw your post about the tension between creating/consuming and have to say I agree. As a recovering media pro myself (lol) -- in the past I have felt pressure to chase what's popular and marketable. But who the hell even knows what that is anymore? Not me!
Since this is my first FAWM I'm mostly just trying to complete the 14 with work I'm satisfied with. Marketing be damned. Good luck and I'll def take a listen to your other tracks!
