'' [...] We don't really fit in anywhere, do we? It's like nature mourns itself around here, and people are grieving with it. Maybe that's why I tear up sometimes; maybe the soul had something to express, [...] and it's all just a free-flow of absurdity that comes through.
I don't know. I know less and less the more I learn about the world, it feels like — as I still do learn.
Curiosity still is here — and meaningless, perhaps — but the brain wants to entertain itself, to find things and to satiate itself. That part of the brain that writes to you seems apathetic to it all.
Maybe it's the soul that speaks here, when the road is clear for clarity. The other that just wants to consume is here to act human. But when does it ever feel alive? [...]
Learning for the sake of x or of y, where all goals are spelled in the same alphabet: something that exists, something real, yet something that doesn't mean anything.
It's all meaningless meaningfulness, a complete dichotomy that ends up pairing to be so sensibly attractive to feast upon. [...] ''
― Letter to Oudis from Lixi; *Derelict Hearts \ Epilogue*
___
The narrative track is a direct follow-up to my novel "Derelict Hearts", taking place years after its events, and following the same protagonist: Lixi.
Here, she is voiced by Madeline Harsh; an incredible voice actress.

This is an alternative project to my main moniker "Somerled". I decided it would be wise to separate this kind of droning, mellow ambient release / audiobook.
Included in the download is the written short story, properly formatted, book-sized.
The main track also has the lyrics embedded in the bandcamp page itself.
You can check the "Derelict Hearts" novel in a digital format here: books2read.com/DerelictHearts
