From Tahnee:
The making of this album began in 2018, after hearing a recording of my dad speaking about his relationship with his impending death. Since he passed, I have had a lot of time to think about death, and what is left after death. The thousand million things that make up a life and being human, fascinates me so much. Music is how I interact with love, pain, and learning. How I talk to the parts of myself which don’t speak the English language. I hear music when I ache for yesterday, when I am curious for tomorrow. It’s in melodies and rhythm, but also in the saliva on my tongue when I taste something colourful. It’s in my fingertips when I pluck the steel strings on my guitar and in the crickets, at the end of a 42 degree day. In the smell of burnt, buttery toast... in the turning of the first page of a new book.
Music helps me be friends with my anxiety and keeps me company when I feel alone. It forgives me for the people I used to be, whom I no longer like nor identify with ~ it peels away dead skin after dead skin and teaches me to hold less resentment for who I was, with more excitement for who I might be.
I feel forever grateful - like I’ve found a little boat with stronger oars that helps me better navigate this strange existence. To the people who helped make this tangible, thank you from the deepest parts of myself
