Liner Notes

Started with a few lines a couple days ago and finished it up yesterday, recorded it this morning. I'm a bit behind for the challenge as I totally forgot til yesterday but glad to have the motivation to finish some ideas. Going to try and keep things simple and quick as I'm traveling and balancing lots of things these days! This one started after a conversation with a friend who was giving her theories on why we keep ourselves so damn busy all the time.. so we don't have to feel/face what's really going on inside! I feel that!

Lyrics

I’ve been running from the void
What did that bring
But sickness of mind
And so much long lost time
I will ditch my bags
Try to sit still
I’m not used to being in my body
I’ll get used to it

Body heals itself
Unlike mind
Which left unchecked grows sick with time
I got used to it
Now I want peace inside

In the body
Coming home
Take your time
Find peace inside

I love the unison instrumentation with the vocal melody. It gives it a kind of "Alice in Wonderland" feel to it that I can't get enough of! As for the song's message/sentiment, well, that return to within is something I'm chasing all the time. I don't know why we keep making choices to rob ourselves of that.

Strong addition to FAWM 2025 💪
