from two years ago. From the start, I’d intended to make an album calledand tour with it, so it finally took shape with this new release. It feels like the culmination of my work as a solo artist and of my solo projects. I packed my true feelings and all the music that I’m currently able to express into this album.
With Disc 2, I created a kind of world that first draws in listeners with “ANSWER… SHADOW” that expresses the loneliness, weakness, and fears that I feel within. “Can You See The Light” is the faint glimpse of light that you see when you’re sinking deeply, and “Give up” expresses the relationship with the person you notice is there beside you in the darkness. “Colorblind” depicts the inner conflict over heading towards the light after the world of “Give up” is over.
Tell us about the two new songs you included in the project, “Just the way you are” and “After the rain.”
