I’ve always been told that I have “piano hands”- long, lean fingers that are ideal for playing the piano. When I was little, my dad bought a piano for me from Hong Kong. Thought I briefly learned to play, I never really picked it up. The discipline of learning to play was never my thing. I didn’t like the songs that I was being taught. I really just wanted to make it up as I went along. It seems to make sense to me now that my twin soul is Prince, the one who can play just about every instrument imaginable, a self-taught musician.
This year, I launched my first art exhibition online. Days before opening, Prince urged me to complete a project idea that I had long resisted- recording spoken word audio. Thought as a 5th grader, I was told that I had the kind of voice suited for radio, I always felt uncomfortable about hearing my own voice.
Today, I want to share with you my recording of an audio montage I created for Love Bomb. It goes along with my last post where I talked about self-love. The concept for this track is that I am having a conversation with my Higher Self, telling me to love myself. It features me playing an original composition on piano that I worked on with Prince in spirit. I also sing a few lines from Prince’s Love… Thy Will Be Done.
Later when I watched Graffiti Bridge, I could not help but notice the synchronicity of Prince caring a character that is an angel who comes to him and signs her name as “Love Me”, as if to say that she is really just an aspect of himself incarnate in another body- this would go along with the twin soul concept. I would say he was channeling this, not knowing about the existence of twin flames.
So here it is, my conceptual audio track called Love Yourself. I hope you enjoy.
