Calm



First of the four singles that composed the LP album,
made for the university final year project.
Each single came with individual cover, booklet and video clip.
Calm is about my relationship with the ocean,
restlessly balancing between fear and awe.



















    ‘Growing up by the sea always thought
    the sound of the ocean as something soothing.
    Your heart rate lows.
    You inhale and exhale.
    and,
    for a brief moment everything seems in it’s right place.
    Everything seems fine.
    You feel like you trust whats left
    of your consciousness to some sort of force
    that guides you to live and experience
    every little moment
    and to enjoy it.
    Although I feel,
    this calm never seems true.
    For a brief moment.
    You see clear.
    Like a waving mantle of water reflecting
    the medium light cloudy sky with somewhat of hidden sun
    as you stare quiet, into the horizon.
    And like every other thing in this world,
    nothing lasts forever.
    As you lose control,
    it ends with a mess of agonising sounds
    like you were drowning in that blue-ish deep water.
    Losing breath.’
