This song was written to celebrate freedom, actually, (the Russian at the end is one of the dudes from Freesound.com saying “sound should be free!”) after a decade when I wasn’t. Props to Shreya, who apparently is like me and will just not go the direct route when faced with a theme. Her Lovecraftean poetry and soft vocals are the perfect complement here.

Well, as a Zen Buddhist, I'm familiar with the story of the man seeing the monk carrying a heavy burden, and asking him what enlightenment was like. The monk agrees to show him, so he sets the burden down, lets out a huge sigh of relief and smiles. The man asks "If that's enlightenment, what next?" So the monk picks up his burden and continues on his way...

it is a zen chant, a rhythm and voice stretched across time. the chords massage the mind, the words captivate on edge of obscurity. an unexpected gunshot alters the direction of the future. perhaps a different kind of freedom?
