Patterns

ABOUT PATTERNS Patterns is the title track & lead single from my debut album which was released June 11th, 2021. Not long ago my friend was diagnosed with cancer and Patterns is a reflection on our relationship and how we both processed the news. Thankfully, my friend beat his cancer and we remain close to this day. The single reached # 1 on the US/CAN College Radio Top 30 Chill Chart on May 24th & 30th, 2021. It was added to Spotify's "Friday Cratediggers" and Amazon's "Fresh Electronic" editorial playlists. ARTWORK: The cover is by renowned Tokyo based visual artist Akiko Nakayama. Combining the energy of movement and the vibrancy of colors, Akiko brings pictures to life through her "Alive Painting". She has performed at New ARS ELECTRONICA (2019) Austria Linz, DLECTRICITY ART FESTIVAL (2017) Detroit, LAB30 Media Art Festival (2018) MUTEK Montreal, MUTEK Tokyo. LYRICS You could never get out of this You might have to sit from the shock of it Well you can see the butterflies look in my eyes I wanna see it from the outside Oh my, oh my And you pull me in and you pull me aside and you know its not right x2 but you pull me in and you pull me aside and you know its not right x2 We could never quite integrate the countless times we fell behind and we feel it every day We could be awake all night All night x2 And you pull me in and you pull me aside and you know its not right x2 but you pull me in and you pull me aside and you know its not right x2 . It feels so good, It feels alright dependable, a bit uptight misunderstood and you don’t know me I feel a weight a push below me I can tell when you don’t know you’re living fast, or living slow open ends, the summer nights the jagged patterns, and flashing lights I wanna see it from the outside Oh my, oh my I wanna see it from the outside Oh my, oh my credits
