Gabriel de Aragão
The Story of why I create is related to my dificulty in accepting the darkness.
I was afraid of sleeping alone, so I didn't. I traveled to worlds unknown and built them from scratch. Every night I would play God instead of count the sheep
I still play God in my dreams. And now the dreams are bleeding out of sleep.
The Goddess I believe in is an homage to my mother and the women who raised me. I believe in the collective experience of reincarnation, and I believe the most blissful yet heartwrentching experience in the world is that of a loving mother.
I believe the experience of the entire universe is that of a mother and therefore our Goddess, who I also believe is still human.
But all of us are Gods of our own realities and we need to reconnect to the people around us to create a better reality.
The Book
A love letter to my mother and reality:
A book for learning to love life.
After long waiting for a meaning, searching for it in a profession, a study, a book, I decided to take it into my own hands and realized the art I truly needed was my own. The anxiety poured into the pages, the stress flowed into the music, the tension released into the pictures.
My true calling was the life I wanted to live. In a broken world I waited for a saviour, a hero, but never realized I was the reason for my own life. The reason for living was my experienc, the human experience. The same way every life is precious because the universe could not exist without every single person, with every different point of view.
The Music
The music came after long trying to copy people, trying to learn from popular music, hoping to hear something familiar I learned the music I waited for was within, and it wasnt gonna be mirrored in any other popular or indie music already released. My originality came from the universe within, the one I, myself, control.
- Poem
- Lyric
- Music
Those were the steps of my creation. I poured into words the feelings I wished to express, I gave them musical rhythm by turning into lyrics, and then the music came.
