Do you remember When I would Change with the weather? When the frost was on the ground I was so cold and silent When the rain would come lashing down my tears would fall When the sun was shining I would burst into a ball of flames Where have you been? Where have you been? My oldest friend Where are you going? Where are you going? My only friend When the days would get so short I would die with the light When the days would get so long I would live forever When the clouds are covering up the fullest of moons I'll still be here Burning from the shining of the sun Where have you been? Where have you been? My oldest friend Where are you going? Where are you going? My only friend Oh it's been so long Oh it's been so long Since our paths have crossed If I saw you now If I saw you now Would I even Recognize? It could be so long It could be so long Before our paths cross If you saw me now If you saw me now Would I even recognize? Where have you been? Where have you been? My oldest friend Where are you going? Where are you going? My only friend

I would watch you Shine so bright In every room you would Cast a light and when I would look at you My eyes would burn But you were never shining for me And now that I'm gone For good have you even Noticed Do you even Know? One time I caught you Smiling After I spoke some kinda truth to you and the way that you turned your head away left me dreaming for a hundred days And now that I'm gone For good have you even Noticed Do you even Know? And I just wanted to Let you know When I would see you The winds would blow I couldn't stand seeing tears in your eyes Leaving was easier Than good-bye And now that I'm gone For good have you even Noticed Do you even Know?

Don't act like it doesn't mean anything when your always looking at me with your eyes so wide Don't act like it doesn't mean anything when I'm always finding you right by my side Don't act like it doesn't mean anything when your heart is burning you up from the inside Don't act like it doesn't mean anything when all those feelings are ones you cannot hide and I'm Getting sick And Tired Of the way it seems to go I'm Getting sick And Tired Of the way it seems to go Don't act like it doesn't mean anything when your hands are always brushing against mine Don't act like it doesn't mean anything when our paths they always seem to intertwine Don't act like it doesn't mean anything when I'm standing next to you and the world it seems so fine Don't act like it doesn't mean anything when I'm drinking you in like sweet sweet sweet wine I'm Getting sick And Tired Of the way it seems to go I'm Getting sick And Tired Of the way it seems to go

about

The songs on this EP were written during a time of deep introspection. Over most of the last two years the only place I have had to play music is alone in my kitchen. During that time lots of transformations took place within me. This is reflected in the stylistic concepts that come to fruition on this EP; the use of extended harmonies, the culmination of my years of experimenting with a bagpipe-style drone, and the wider melodic lines making use of my falsetto vocal range. The recording of this EP took place when the moon was new in the sign of Cancer on 7/09/21, including when it was exact at 6:16PM PDT (pretty sure I was working on the first track at that time). The new moon in Cancer is significant because Cancer rules the moon; it is also significant to me on a personal level because Cancer is my rising sign. The new moon represents both a beginning and an ending; the songs on this EP represent different endings of disparate—but similar—situations in my life which serve as the beginning of my journey releasing original music as The 5000 Spirits.

Thank you to all who have supported my music making throughout the years!
