“MANTA RAY”
Music by J. Ralph and ANOHNI
Lyrics by ANOHNI
performed by J. Ralph & ANOHNI
Produced by J. Ralph
Co-Produced by Arthur Pingrey
In the trees
Between the leaves
All the growing
That we did
All the loving
And separating
All the turning
To face each other
I divide
In the sky
In the the seams
Between the beams
All the loving
And separating
All the turning
To face each other
Without biodiversity
I'm nothing
It's like I never
Existed
Without my home
With no reflection
I cease to exist
And my children
Are dying now
Inside me
All I love
All I know
All I've known
I am dying now
Inside me
My children

If only our world was as dynamic and engaging as the one you sing into existence ... making us mourn what we have destroyed and lost ... tne complexity and harmony in the depths of the sea.

Belíssimo💙

[@hollyeckert2857]

I congratulate this BIG star in finding a true balance between form and subject. I found the experience of watching this video of ocean water life while listening to Anohni's lovely voice reflecting on the meaning of life MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL AND MEANINGFUL than some trivial video of a young, good looking woman pontificating about the sadness found in a love affair. Let's all grow up as artists and start making real art and not just reproducing trivial pop art! You can find an effort I made at it right here at "The Exile Project" by Holly Eckert and Amy Denio.
