Crows gather, ink-black constellations “Fly,” they whisper, “or fall. The abyss keeps secrets from neither.”

Beneath, the abyss hums a hollow hymn, A bassline of eternal hunger, Where the echoes of unwritten myths Twist in spirals of endless descent.

Their tears, the salt of distant seas.

They mock, they mourn, they warn, But the crows, they remember the fall.

The song, I believe, will be christened “Crow.” It is my 9th single release since my last album. I often use that as my point in time to release an album. So, I may do that too… not sure.

Crow is the type of song that you may put at the back of an album. I really like it, but it is not a traditional rock/pop/indie track. It is a bit more “eclectic.” I created the track simply by playing around with sounds. I believe I was watching a show called The Sandman around the time of its inception. Morpheus — also known as Dream — was the central character in The Sandman. Matthew, voiced by Patton Oswalt, was Morpheus’s loyal raven and messenger. At the time, I must have thought it was a crow, and/or the crow theme came up in a podcast I was watching called This Jungian Life. It focuses on Jungian/depth psychology and has three hosts — Lisa Marchiano, Deborah Stewart, and Joseph Lee.

This is where I think the Halloween vibe comes in and why this would be better released in October. But why wait? It would be good to get it playlisted on a Halloween playlist, though, so please consider it.
