ELSEWORLD
“When can I see you?”
You say to me when I’m out of town
I drag my feet so
you may still see my shadow around
Something familiar
an echo when you make a sound
like how you knock twice
before you go and turn around
And you know that it’s true
I wish you were here
耳をすませば
聴こえるかな
SATELLITE 0057
Tell me what I should believe
I see a light slip through the seams
like a thread in the sky
Across longitude and latitude
a phantom thought that calls to you
and fades out of sight
Here you are and so am I
with the sun and the moon
we see it all in view
Here you are and so am I
where the day and the night
are the strings that tie to you

BEEKEEPER (EXPEDITION 53)
Memories, they can deceive you
Feeling the edge of some see through
disappearing shapes: undone
I see how it’s gold and it wanders
A colony misplaced, gone under
A strand of hair falls out of place
I trace my steps back through the day
Brush aside the faintest trace
I’m looking for another way
of filling in the empty space
I’m with you in Rockland, no sooner
though I’d prefer it Vancouver
Do you have a place to stay?
I know there are no far off sailors
That really, I’m just a pretender
Strangers in a distant place
気まぐれのように, 懐かしく感じてしまう
DOMINO
I had a dream last night
A dream I seem to have from time to time
Always going down the same
but I wake up before I can find
the place i’m supposed to go -
following the clues, connecting the dots,
McGuffin with a velvet glow, over the shoulder,
you melt into black
And so, my mind still wanders off
I see your shadow’s almost gone
Slowly fading into thoughts
Who knows if it even ever was
I close my eyes and try to read the signs
I’m wide awake and all I’ve got is time
I’m drinking my coffee as I write it down
What went wrong, what went south,
burned it down to the ground
So I wonder, if I had done things different,
how it ends

60712 - Music fromYour Love Letter
This is a re-imagined version of a track from 2012, now featured in the Short Film, Your Love Letter.
Written and directed by Chanelle Wang, the track is featured in the closing moments of the lovely and thoughtful short. The version of the song presented here features dialogue (buried real deep), with the intent of creating a dream-like quality (or at the least, a pseudo-ASMR instrumental track).
