Liner Notes
do you know about aphantasia? i didn't until someone suggested i might look into it
Lyrics
i ain’t got no picture when i close my eyes
you ask if i see a yellow banana
it’s dark. i’m trying to imagine it
no image but words that fit
aphantasia
i ain’t able to fantasize
to run a picture now i realize
close you eyes think of a red apple
tell me the light dapples
aphantasia
if you don’t see a picture describe
and you’re working from metaphore
the dark of your lids is the show
you might be living like you don’t know
aphantasia
all this time i thought i could see
it ain’t blindess but i’m free
of all the images of my life
no future to imagine or second sight
aphantasia

ive got it, but never thought to write a song about it, besides, sometimes it goes away and some hologram rises up inside the closed eyes of my field of vision. I like the song and the way you sing it...so casual it seems off the cuff, but only seems..not is. this kind of writing is possible only after many years of experimentation.

What a cool concept to write a song around. And I love the simplicity of the performance. Excellent job.
