“Songwriting has a strong magnetism that’s pulled me in from childhood. The art of storytelling through lyric, melody and visual is a language I feel most like myself within. As a young designer planning buildings on the east coast, my approach to music was its mirror: composition, proportion, movement, hierarchy, balance, asymmetry. How I write music is very 3 dimensional. When Michael and I had our first talks about teaming up, the intrigue heightened and he subsequently followed with an arrangement that was as emotionally complex and elaborate as the facade of a gothic cathedral. I am a bit wild about sci-fi, astronomy and fantasy, so I felt an instant connection to the story behind the constellation of Greek Hunter, Orion. A retelling of my own experience and of what is happening daily in mainstream media. Orion in this context represents a person, an energy field or a thought process that uses power and position to divorce self-governance in another. Everyone who has been compromised in this situation becomes the narrator. It is a portrait of someone we all know, someone whose ego and demeanor is controlling and dangerous. I wanted others to know that there’s hope if they are being abused and that love does not present in the form of control. Love is setting others free to blossom and be themselves. The protagonist of the song, you or me, finds that sometimes the only way out is through, like an unpredictable series of actions in a game of chess. It’s here that the player may regain their voice, confidence, and dignity to turn the hand of the board.” … Whitney Tai

lyrics

In the belt of Orion

is a particular giant

Taller than the Everest

clouding up my headspace

We’ve all been here before

Beggin for change

And I’m still unsure

of his phases

Charming if nothing

He’s ultraviolet



There’s a careful calm

in knowing nothing

It’s the only way

I’ll get to you



In this delicate hour that

you’ve crushed and devoured

Does it know my intention?

for final ascension

Now, keep a straight face

It never was a game

I’m just a dot

in his formation

And I understand now

why Taurus shunned him



There’s a silent charm

In these glitter highways

they’re the only way

to run from you



I could rise like a pharaoh

from the still of the gallows

But I cling to the poison

Just to let all the noise in

and hide behind the face

Maybe i’ll escape

But i’m pleasured by his gazes

Stopping at nothing

to kill the violence



Save your own demise

from the stars half your size

you have bruised

Orion …
