This was such a unique and immersive listen! The mix of spoken word and improvisation creates such a vivid atmosphere—feels like stepping into a dream. Really cool approach!

I love this - it reminds me of some sessions in the Bay Area in the late 90s. I've only seen and heard live band version - impressive as one person creation!

OOO. Very stressful. But I supposed that is the thing on youre songs. I can surely see youre music in art galleries. Suits well for some photo documentation in some backyard environment. Well done!

@sbs the lyrics are excerpts from my dream journal, so they all are dated for the dream I had that night. Thanks for listening!

Very jazzy! I always enjoy titles with dates - makes me so curious about what made that day stand out. This is cool - like some 60s coffee house "beatnik" hangout.
