“Sage” - A Song about Love, Longing, and Release
Have you ever felt so deeply drawn to someone that your heart flutters? And then as time moves on and the situation plays out, what is required of you is to release, not to add more pressure? This is what this song is about- the experience of working through love that has no ending to the story. The highs, the lows, the in-between, the constant hum in the background.
When you listen to this song, it will be apparent the emotions and depth. This is one of the first songs I've ever written fully on the piano and sang aloud before producing anything into my computer at a later date. I hope you enjoy the vast beauty that this song has to offer, and gives you a preview of the emotional depth of the upcoming album.
Lyrics from Sage Oh Sage You make my heart flutter like a bird in the sky Oh Sage You make my heart flutter like a bird in the sky Oh Sage Come to me when you are ready And take your time, no need to hurry I’ll be a part of your journey Oh Sage Come to me when you are ready And take your time, no need to hurry I’ll be a part of your journey I know it’s hard to talk about About how relationships all they do is tie you down But my love runs deeper than the moment now So go fly away like a bird in the sky Like a bird in the sky Oh Fly away like a bird in the sky Oh Sage But if distance ain’t the issue then why haven’t you loved me the same? I’m such a fool to think you’d ever see me other than your friend. And if distance ain’t the issue then why haven’t you loved me the same? I’m such a fool to think you’d ever see me other than a friend But oh woah Woah woah I’ll find a light on my own To the beat of my drum Don’t need you anymore Gunna live on my own I’ll find a light on my own To the beat of my drum Don’t need you anymore Gunna live on my own I’ll find a light on my own To the beat of my drum Sage Come to me when you are ready And take your time, no need to hurry I’ll find a light on my own I don’t need you anymore Sage Come to me when you are ready And take your time, no need to hurry I’ll find a light on my own I don’t need you anymore Sage Oh Sage You make my heart flutter like a bird in the sky Oh Sage You make my heart flutter like a bird in the sky
Big news on the Blossomoon front: My next full-length album is complete and will be released on June 19th!
I've been talking about this album for years! Literally for 5 years. And honestly it has single-handedly blocked my creative output and my ability to release music in the meantime. (when I say I have over 100 unreleased songs, I'm not joking). But by the grace of God, IT IS DONE!
The album is called: "Navigating the Freefall".
And I LOVE the name because that is such a silly and funny thing to try to do. Imagine being in the middle of a beautiful sky-dive from an airplane, but suddenly being like - "no, I'm going back up, actually no, I'll go sideways, and then to the left, and then 400 meters north, but for God's sake I'm not landing until my life looks like it could be in a feature magazine, or I win America's Got Talent, or or or or..."
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I TRIED TO DO WITH THIS ALBUM!
I started working on this album right after I released my first album called "Bloom" all the way back in 2018. Navigating the Freefall went through a full 5 iterations, with the final version of the album featuring only a single song from the first version. Everything else was rejected through my perfectionist attitude and my "I'm-not-good-enough" mentality. I've been working on that, hence why its finally done.
But here's the truth: This album is just heavy. It has to do with unrequited love, mental health issues, addiction, depression, anxiety, suicide, grief and loss. There are moments of ups and downs, but it is just a heavy and deep piece of art.
I have not made anything quite so poignantly heavy since then, and I am certainly in a better place now than I was when I was personally going through these emotions between 2019-2022. I firmly believe that part of the reason it took so long to finish, and why I've held back from releasing it, is that it simply puts me in a lower vibration listening to these songs. It was simply hard to work on these songs and finish them. Now that I'm out of that space, I am proud of myself for not giving up and pushing through the fear of being seen.
All this to be said- the album is beautiful. It is touching. There are moments of hope. It hits all the notes of a cohesive piece of art, and yet it is plain and simply sad.
And that's what you'll find in this single from the album, called "Sage". All the above- beautiful, touching, hopeful, and sad.
Next week, I will be back with another heavy hitting song from the album- one focused on the topic of suicide, which is a tough topic to talk about, let alone sing about. However, I do believe it should be less stigmatized of a topic, and more awareness around it should be brought to the forefront. If we were more okay about talking about suicide, perhaps more souls would still be with us on this earth today.
As always, thank you so much for listening and supporting my music!
David (aka Blossomoon)
