There were several dreams with images of my beloved that were fleeting and obtuse. Lyrics came from musing upon awakening from such dreams, arising out of the hypnopompic state when the boundary between dream and thought is diffuse. — Sackjo22, Music

I love telling stories using symbolic language, providing imagery for others to explore their thoughts and feelings. My experience of creating the video reflects a deepening of my dreams and what was transforming in my life. It was a dance-like process between song and image, which influenced my intimate relationships and my dreams. -- Angela Grillo, Director 

DEEPER NIGHTS DEEPER DREAMS

Spring ahead but don’t leave me behind as I fall back, it seems to be time toreset clocks and reframe thoughts discern what may be right or may be fraught with concern and burdened with care mixed disappointment and mixed with pride a season of change as day’s light becomes thin and the reach of night lengthens again.

Is it a song? Is it a dream? Is it an intricate harmony? It’s waiting. It’s wanting. The phantom of longing. It’s the love between you and me.

Summer left us dry and used left the earth hard and broken Still late season perennials bloom prove new growth always harkens promise of relationship promise of love promise to challenge what is true turning back to what’s unspoken the love between me and you

So turn the clock, turn the tide as arms of eons extend through night cradling what you aspire finger snap starting desire’s fire daylight shortens illumination’s reach deeper nights bring deeper dreams.
