pathwalk

I don't think I ever said this was my best song, but anyway.

life started in march of 2017,when one day I recorded (at least the guitars) traveling waters, HSTTH, and pathwalk. I had always been a huge fan of 90s hardcore, but more specifically emocore. emotive hardcore. when I was a little kid I was an all out emo kid and would listen to all kind of emo music, even as far back as when I was 9 I remember listening to music like the red jumpsuit aparatus. of course no one would really call that "emotive hardcore" but it has it's elements, and especiallt when I was 13 14 and would listen to basiaclly nothing but "emo" that really set a foundation for my music taste for the rest of my life. I will always be an emo kid on the inside. when I was 16 I started to discover "true" emo and of course I had an instant affinity with it. I still listen to and create this kind of music regularly to this day. my love for emotive hardcore is what prompted me to want to make it myself. something about the coming of spring made me feel like I was opening my eyes ina certain way, I started having partiular thoughts and feels that I wanted to capture, and i felt like this kind of music was a good medium. none of these life songs (at least these first 3) are even sad or negative. they are just genuine feeling and a passion towards the zests of life and being alive. the contrast between somewhat abrasive and angry melodramatic music and relating it to simply just enjoying life is interesting to me too. I think pursuing the passion of intense music is a great way to excersise happiness. it made me feel like when I was a kid, even listening to somewhat "heavy" and "sad" music, but this particular springtime had me feeling a certain way. listening to emo bands  started reminding me of being 10 years old and playing outside. simple pleasures, and just a genuine love and interest for intense music. I'm not sure i'm explaining myself well, but the point is I really wanted to channel all of this energy and light into a brand new project called "LIFE". everything was capital letters before because I really wanted to express that i was YELLING AND BEING REALLY INTENSE. EVERYTHING I FELT WAS EXTREMELY INTENSE I WANTED TO BE LOUD AND OPEN AND HISTRIONIC ABOUT IT. later on I would take off the capitlaztion not because I'm not passionate anymore but because I stopped thinking it looked good. pathwalk in particular is about something really abstract. it's about livemovments, pathwalking, dreamstepping, colorfollowing, I really don't know how to describe any of this.it was a channel of all of this 2017 spring energy in abstract forms.

The fire of social streamlines cruising ages faster and faster

To reflect upon faces and experiences

I reinnovate overflow

Neon blue ridden line and mosaic arrivals

Every sound, every note to saturate my world

I will walk the life of dreams

i was trying to put into words certain miniscule details and descriptions about tiny movements in every day life. a way to live that's perfectly saturated every moment.simply being alive, in the purest and most enjoyable way. I just wanted to have fun. I could try to talk really in depth about every word here but that would be extreme oversharing, this literally omes directly from deep parts of damian. but some of these are images and colors, memories I'm recalling that feel deistant, but perfect. dreamthoughts I had while being awake in june of 2010. dreaming. just dreaming. but in the most awake way possible. pathwalk. walking and moving in this way, colored by pure self energy and the energy of life around me
