The chords for the Radiohead cover arrived like a cloud. I discovered what I was playing as I was playing it. The lyrics come at an interesting time and at once feel like a description of what it means to be privileged and a prayer for safety and gardens for all bodies. No alarms and no surprises. No cops. No violence. I have no idea what Thom Yorke's intention was writing it, but today it feels like a prayer.

In the light to be seen is an original song given to me by my ancestors during the early days of quarantine.

This EP is an offering, a prayer for destruction of the collapsing towers of oppression, a prayer for seeds in the soil of the aftermath. I hope it gives you some comfort in the chaos and some nourishment for the uprising.
