It means a lot. I have a fraught relationship with my voice. It’s partly vocal dysphoria, partly low self-esteem from criticism as a teen. In 2014, my self-doubt resulted in me removing every single track containing my voice from Bandcamp, and replacing it with an instrumental version. + + It has taken me almost ten years to finally feel at home with my voice, despite the mismatch with what I wish it sounded like. Getting a new mic this January also helped—I can now produce almost studio-standard work from my bedroom! + + Here’s a collection of both brand new songs and songs from as far back as 2011, whose lyrics are finally seeing the light of day. A lot of them explore the twilight between joy and parting, between love and loss. The title is about me breathing new life into old songs, but it is also about rediscovering and putting names to things once lost. + + Many thanks to [[artist:chichii|Emmara]] for collabing with me on Summer Heat, and to everyone whose enthusiasm has spurred me to finish this in record time! +--- +Section: Main album +--- +Track: Summer Heat +Duration: '03:41' +Contributors: +- CHICHII !

I couldn’t find any music accurately reflecting her aesthetic for her playlist, so I took matters into my own hands and wrote the song I wished I could find. + + Sentimental and protective, Ajai clings to the memory of every person she’s loved long after they have left.

The lyrics of this song alone made it worth remaking this many times. At long last, you can hear them! + + The lyrics are based on an old short story I wrote at around the same time, about a windchime left behind in a house that has long been abandoned.
