Akira Film Script - N2-16

Over Exposure is an album about home - my childhood home, more specifically; in comfort, and in quiet reflections on the past, present, and future. As I've gotten older, nostalgia hits hard, with greater frequency. As I meditate on my past, in hopes to inform my future, I've found myself returning to my childhood home and neighborhood in these reflective sessions. One thing I adored about where I grew up was how insulated it was from the chaos and noise of the outside world. I lived at the end of a street with a large field behind our house (filled with new homes now; sadly the field is lost to time), and during the days, everyone went to work - it was a classic middle-class American neighborhood in its heyday - and as such, the days would just be so...quiet. You'd hear prop planes flying over, leaving the air field across the bay; you'd hear birds, the occasional car, the clock chiming every hour, on the hour...outside of all that, there wasn't much else going on.
