“Beneath the same night sky, we are all connected.”
As an adult looking up into the night sky on a clear night away from city lights, we are reminded and humbled by our place in the greater cosmos. Our troubles and challenges begin to feel insignificant compared to the grandeur and beauty of the whole. When we were small, we would look up at the constellations with a sense of curiosity, awe and wonder. With the world itself already feeling big, we were aware that the vastness that met our eyes when looking up carried with it an even larger, more expansive world. Spaceships were the toys that led our imaginations to wonder what it might feel like to explore the galaxy, telescopes provided a lens through which we could get an even better glimpse of the wonders above us. As we grew up, we still continued to look to the stars with a sense of reverence. We’ve always done some our most honest reflecting and self-inquiry anytime we found ourselves with quality time to look above. No matter what we faced, we always felt a deeper sense of ease and a feeling of being at-homeness. We felt connected to something bigger than ourselves. In these experiences, we may not have always found answers but we certainly found peace.
“Constellations” is an homage to that sense of awe and wonder we felt as kids and still do today when looking up towards the night sky. It is also a love letter to those in our lives who shared with us for the first time, glimpses of that bigger picture and those who remind us of its existence still today. It is a tip of the cap to the little voice inside who looks above and knows he’s home, right where he’s meant to be in the grand beauty and unknowable mystery of it all.
“Constellations” is off of and completes the full album “Alive to a World We Knew.” Thank you for listening to the soundscapes and checking out the videos along the way. It has been a joy to create and share this music with you all. I hope it brought you back to the good memories of being a kid and the joyful enthusiasm, adventurous fun, immense possibility and playful creativity of our earlier years.
