Beach Psychosis

I was walking down the beach in Santa Barbara, California.


I felt a complex combination of nostalgia, hopefulness, and inner calm.


I took multiple photos, trying to capture how I felt with them. But I knew they wouldn’t be enough. So I took this voice memo, too:

And then I made you this song:
