Nobody can take your dreams away from you, so it's easier to dream than to face reality. But what if those weren't dreams? Don't you wish to find out, or would you rather live in the Phantasm.

This is the first song of mine that I could listen back to and feel proud of the end product. I never enjoyed listening to my music, but this is where it all changed.

Perks / Utility:
- Nothing
- Everything
I want people to listen and resonate with my music. So let's speak about how we get as many people to hear this song. 
Or we can talk about why you felt like collecting this record. 
Or we can talk about what utility is and what I can offer to make collecting this worthwhile. 
I guess what I'm saying is we can decide together what this record and its utility means.

Aware

Phantasm

This is my first ever piece of original music for the world to hear. This is me announcing myself to the world that I have arrived. This is me embracing who I have always felt I was. It's a familiar feeling.... but I'm Someone New.

I wrote this song out in a shipping container turned into a cabin by an organization known as CabinDAO. It's where I truly started feeling like an artist first, rather than the various other titles I had associated with my identity. I was graciously gifted a month at the Cabin along with 4 other creators to work on our personal craft, and this is the feeling that came out of me.

The song got started 2 or 3 days into my stay at the cabin where I felt this enormous wave of energy take over me. I quickly laid out the barebones of the track and started singing what my soul was feeling. It was only later when I put words to it I realized the feeling I was verbalizing through song, was that of a change in how I thought about myself. 

Despite having an EP ready to release to the world, I think this song feels like it should come first. It's how I feel now. It also better sets up the story of how I got here which I hope to tell soon.

Shoutout to @songcamp_, @matthewchaim, @markredito, and @creatorcabins. I wouldn't be here without you and your support in all things web 3. And of course my best friends George and Eric without whose support I would never have released any music.

I've split a portion of this record with @creatorcabins to show my appreciation for the time they gave me and to allow other creators to get the same opportunity.
