“We’re still here trying to make the best out of life. I mean, we gave up a lot of our culture and traditions, but we've also adopted a lot of beautiful things from other cultures, from other traditions. Sometimes I ask myself, ‘What am I? What does that make me?’” - qiyupaik

“are you afraid? Are you ready? Do you have any sense of what's to come?”
Loss, its nibbling around the edges, biting, stalking, looming, this global so local, this so many down to just one, one life lived in one time, each one begats one, each one regrets one, each one meets one, and each one repeats. . . until silence.

“My grandmother, a grand storyteller her whole life, lost the ability to speak due to a severe stroke and has been living between the earthly and astral plane for some time. In this song I am coming to terms with this impending transition, loss. I am also asking my grandmother all the questions that I can't ask her in real life - are you afraid? Are you ready? Do you have any sense of what's to come? I am peeking into the future while keeping one eye on the past of my grandmother's storied life and reflecting on the profound impact her life has had on mine.” - Dana Sipos
