From the recording Return to Dust
"Whirlwind" is the first track I recorded for this EP. It was early 2024, and I was inspired to create a 2-hour album revolving around the themes of nature, life, and loss. Later, I decided to reduce the album to an EP, but this track has always been the centerpiece of the project. Imagine sitting alone outside in the middle of autumn, watching leaves slowly swirl down around you. Then they pick up speed until they're whirling wildly, churning through the sky, and you feel the brisk breeze in your hair. You realize that your one and only life—infinitely special—is going by so much faster than you imagined.
