I feel you breathe Floating on the wind Into me I can feel this place coursing through my veins What a feeling And I know all this must pass So I'm making something last And I feel That I am getting closer I only see you in your light I only see you in your fire Oh there is nothing left to hide I only see you in your fire Do you see What grows inside of me What a feeling I feel It slipping As quickly as it came What a feeling We are dancing over flames As we work to find the way And I feel That we are getting closer I only see us in the light I only see us in the fire And there is nothing left to hide I only see us in the fire I only see you in your light I only see you in your fire And there is nothing left to hide I only see you in your fire

All my life I wanted to understand The stories in my head Oh I feel so lost in these layers I must admit I suppose I wanna know what is holding me back Oh I'm so ready To let it go All my life I wanted to understand The things we get tripped up in Oh when we all want a world with far less suffering I guess I always thought I could fix everything Oh but I'm so ready To let it go We could be a lighthouse We could be a lighthouse We could be a lighthouse

All of the time I'm walking all around it, and I Follow some line Falling all around what's undefined I am a fallen tree Forest all around me Listening Beneath my feet A shifting call responding to me Now, I wonder When we will become water Let me come apart Water Let me come a part of Water Even when I feel it all Even when I feel alone Will I be a part Water I cannot be apart Water

Oh my eyes again
 Hold my eyes with you
 Oh my eyes again
 I left one side with you Sing through you
 What gives me life
 Breathe with you
 Eases my mind Hold my eyes again
 Hold my eyes for me
 Open my eyes again
 This is the time I need Seeing through you
 What gives us life
 Breathe with you
 Deeper with time I have always tried to find my place
here
 And I watched you try to carry everything
I handed over to you
 And I am sorry
 But I am thankful
 And, I will try to be the mirror for you
 And maybe no one's trying to change us after all
 Oh after all of these years

Feeling it today Oh feeling every way What I would not give Trying best to give in Staring at the white wall Seeing visions Of what still may be I know that you're leaving I know that you'll be here Thinking of a day Oh not so far from now What I would not give Have you here beside us Watching out the window Playing visions What I would not give I know that you're leaving I know you'll be here I know that you're leaving I know you'll be with me I know that you're leaving I know you'll be here I know that you're leaving I know you'll be with me

I will always remember this feeling I sing in empty space Returning Remember this place I will always remember this feeling Remember this place

Only some time is needed Only time Is what we have And when I fall apart I know That I have just forgotten Only time Is what we have And when you need to know my love Oh when you're looking I know it's hard To find but all I need Is waiting for me Only my mind is bleeding Moments dry Of what we have And then I fall apart But I know I'm learning fast Only time Is what we have And when you need to know my love Oh when you're looking love I know it's hard To find but all I need Is waiting for me

I can see I can see I can see Oh my love All my love Oh my love

An ambient ode to the time and space that I feel so fortunate to float within.

I see my face
 Across the way
 It's shifting its shape And it speaks to me I see our fate Across the waves It's coming clearly Until the vision breaks Now I see the light behind your walls I feel you dance around the room And I know We can make it I know We can make it better I alone I can make it And I alone I cannot make it better I speak to me Into the sheets When I listen closely I can hear it sing Remember to breathe And lean into feeling I hear it singing And I am feeling free Now I see the light behind your walls I feel you dance around the room And I know We can make it I know We can make it better I alone I can make it But I alone I cannot make it better And I know We can make it I alone I cannot make it better I know we can make it I know We can make it better

If there is only time And there is only This line inside it Well we try to find the ways to defy it But it’s impossible to see what’s coming If there is only time Then there is only Experience And we try to find the ways to define it But it’s impossible to know what’s missing Oh I’ve lived my whole life Chasing waiting for the moment to come Oh that’s some kind of life Grieving hours as they slip through the glass It’s taken some time Let the river take me where it may Now I feel everything If there is only life Then there is only This time inside it And I try to find the ways to define it But it’s impossible to put words to it Oh why live my whole life Chasing waiting for the moment to come Oh that’s some kind of lie Grieving hours as they slip through the glass Now its taking some time Let the river take me where it may Now I feel everything

I used to say your name out loud But over the years I watched this settle down I used to cry your name I know it And now I've grown so distant from the only that I know I cannot believe Believe it I find myself coming back here all the time I know that I can change I know it And I want something different With all the life I wanna give Are you still out of your mind? I wish that you could see you I know that you could see it Are you still floating around? I wish that you could find me I've given up the past And I would know Where it leads me Are you still out of your mind? I wish that you could see you I know that you could see it Are you still floating around? I wish that you could find me

I hoped I couldn’t be the Only human being With these visions filling up my eyes One way to cloud them out was Take my human and shut her down Don’t feel Don’t feel don't feel don't Two ways to go about it Feed the one that gives me doubt Or I can leave her behind Don’t feel don’t feel don’t And I didn’t really think I’d find it I wanted something real I wanted something real And I knew it wasn’t all for nothing I needed something real I needed something real Your love Your love Your love (Don't feel don't feel don't) Your love Your love Your love (Don't feel don't feel don't) I thought I could never be me Given up almost everything But these visions took me by surprise Now I couldn’t live without this I’d have to change my view about it And leave me behind And I didn’t really think I’d find it I wanted something real I wanted something real And I knew it wasn’t all for nothing I needed something real I needed something real Your love Your love Your love (Don't feel don't feel don't) (Something real) Your love (Something real) Your love (Something real) Your love (Don't feel don't feel don't) Your love Your love Your love (Don't feel don't feel don't) (Something real) Your love (Something real) Your love (Something real) Your love (Don't feel don't feel don't)

I composed this ambient soundtrack to the rhythm of my own box-breathing during a time when I needed it most. I wanted to make a version that was useful for others, with a visual guide.

A Friday night musical meditation on the struggle and beauty of some days.

Fragile by Annu

Written live with my music gloves on a magical day in Tulum, Mexico, as I watched millions of baby butterflies migrate from wherever they came to wherever they were going. Watch the video: https://www.instagram.com/p/CecjxpDFOgE/

A meditation on the beauty of nature and human potential.

Trust by Annu

Written as a soundtrack piece to express my awe as the Starship launch tower came together. Watch the video the piece was written for, which showcases the first movement of the "chopstick" arms that will eventually catch Starship as it comes back in for landing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxhiAxudQZs

I was asked by a friend to cover "After the Gold Rush," a classic by the legendary Neil Young. The song is meant to accompany video footage and will eventually be shot off into space! I am looking for feedback on the mix and feeling. I wanted to keep it simple and I loved adding momentary pauses to create a more peaceful feeling. I'm curious how that translates, and what people think of the soft vocal takes.
