We live on a mountain, right at the top This beautiful view from the top of the mountain Every morning, I walk towards the edge And throw little things off Like car parts, bottles, and cutlery Or whatever I find lying around It's become a habit, a way to start the day [I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you] x2 It's early morning, no one is awake I'm back at my cliff, still throwing things off I listen to the sounds they make on their way down I follow with my eyes 'til they crash I imagine what my body would sound like Slamming against those rocks And when it lands Will my eyes be closed or open? [I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you] x3 Safe up here with you x1,000

about

Yes, the cover art is AI-generated with some photoshop on my end. This was purposeful.

With all this talk about AI being a completely legit way to showcase art, I chose AI art as a tongue-in-cheek option. If you look closely at this image, you'll see the cracks in the "art".

Nothing will be as personal/good as actual humans creating something from nothing. AI has no emotion behind it, and emotion is what connects human race.

This album was completed over the course of a year and some change, and I am beyond thrilled to share it with everyone. I enjoyed creating these songs from nothing, and I hope you enjoy them too.

Thanks for listening.

Thank you to my wife and kids for being my biggest supporters. Thank you to my friends who listened to demos of these songs.
