about

This track is the first moment of Liturgical reflection, featuring a voice memo of my Papou describing the life of his passed brother, my namesake, Against the audio of my Papou is a short poem. I have painted a picture of my youth on the street we lived on, expressing fear that if I could never find a romantic partner to see those experiences realized in the person I am now, then they would never exist. In a way, it’s the feeling that if someone else doesn’t love us, is our self love even real?

lyrics

My brother
They told him, my dad
My son saw your son in Chicago and I thought he was supposed to be in Cleveland
My parents don't know English that well, so

So he left the job in Cleveland and came to Chicago
And he was looking for another job
He said he didn't like the corporate world

So he did find a job in Chicago he left after that, he decided to go back home to Sharon and decided to become a school teacher
At that time there were a lot of jobs in the factories, he could get a job in the factory
He was a teacher then!
Two brothers who practiced pulmonary

The magnolia in full bloom
It's petals dancing all around
Creating their own world for me to grow in
Beads of sweat on my shoulder, like dew on our sun tea
(Your brother will never see another Christmas)
Clipped grass littering my ankles
Bruised by tar, bitten by bark
Time moving slow as the snapper up the street
I feel that if there’s no one to hear these memories, they will cease to exist
As nothing but a dream, this dream
In which we live alone
