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.
