“BandCamp friends, we meet again. Today’s release is “What Archetypes Say.” It is the 4th song from “Modern M” –– this record made highlighting the deep artistry of Modern English. This song breaks me up into countless pieces, shining — falling like starlight. I love the television show “The X Files”; no surprise there, haha, but I wrote Archetypes about things both close and unknowably distant. And like Agent Mulder . . . “I still want to believe.” Yet the meanings in the song are multilayered — and those meanings now will be largely formed by your imagination and experience. Thank you for being here on this strange and beautiful planet –– and on the road to releasing this music. The art contains two photos I took of a full moon during the writing of the piece. Two perspectives of our beloved satellite. “Hold your hands . . .” The tears are real. xx ~M
