Bio:
Window blinds paint lines across a room that radiates with alpenglow from the afternoon sun; The dichotomy of something so serene yet knowing that ultimately nothing lasts forever and nothing can be perfect. There is unparalleled beauty in the human condition. Whether we acknowledge it or not, our lives can never leave its scope.
Elijah is much like “The Giver”. Recounting memories and feelings in vivid colors for those to witness and carry on within themselves. The message is beyond the music. It is a documentation of the struggle to internalize these virtues. To accept that only after becoming comfortable with the uncertainties of life; you can finally start to live it.
Regardless of where the listener is on their journey, be it the highest of peaks or the lowest of valleys. This message serves as a reminder that without mountains to climb and vast lands to traverse, the world would be empty.
