Atmospheric
Welcome to the Atmospheric (Music & Picture Show) for my song Atmosphere and Chapter 6 of my Pretty Dopamine Bullets visual album. Thank you for being here.
This is my love song to the desert. If you want to help protect the Mojave consider following and supporting @mojavedesertlandtrust.
Atmosphere was written while wandering the deserts of California and Arizona. Running away. Sleeping under stars. Making photos. Writing. Getting lost on bottomless, dusty backroads. Moving towards something I can never reach.
howling at the moon
screaming for the sun
laughing at the fright_
the mojave desert
brutal and beautiful
hot and cold
alive and dead
my state of suspension
like swimming between two boats
the only release being dreams, imagination, memories
a voluntary exile_
a taped up heart…a gypsy soul…a dopamine mind…this is what i find
a pink pay phone
middle of the mojave
no other signal
no electronic map to the nearest scene
no cheap dopamine
it’s here to save lives
to ferry lost souls to the other side
it won’t call your friend, lover, savior or foe
all it has to offer is a poem
words for emergency use only_
friend or foe…i’m bleeding for love…i’m keeping the score…all i want is more
if you wait
under a white hot sun
if you listen
through the pelting wind
if you breathe in
breathe out
the sands of these desert dunes
will sing you a song about
time not being on our side_
time’s not on my side…so i’m sleeping with sedona tonight
hi desert
americana
route 66
a voluntary exile_
lost in the dark…i’m searching the stars…for faraway sounds…of the lost and found
sunday service
asteroid city
circe 2024
a voluntary exile_
wonder valley
end of world
contradictions_
i howl at the moon…i laugh at the fright…i scream for the sun…will i be alright?
morning phases
coffee stains
desert rain
a voluntary exile_
with love. from bozeman, boston, nyc, sedona, the mojave desert & joshua tree.
