I gave a name to This Tree
and now she protects me.
Shields me with her branches
and hugs me if I need one
she tells all of It's animal friends
I'm a safe one
I'd never hurt anyone
when He chases me I run to her
and he gets lost
and dies trying to find me
It's the magic of my sisters, says the Tree to me
you're safe here
we love you
we want you to be free
like we are
She knows just what I need
when I see her
she knows just how long to wait
for me
She prepares me a soft bed
with a glass of honey tea
and she tells me stories
and cradles me in my sleep
She told me once
she has many names
of many a child of old
all were hurt where her roots could feel
they were like me
so alone and cold
she says she wish all children had a tree or two
it's a pity their humans can't
learn to love them true
I gave a name to This Tree
and now she protects me.

a bold statement. while I can't say I'm deeply in love of every moment of it, there's something about it that speaks to me quite strongly. highly recommended Watching Nebula
Love this so much! DDIN is talent that will continue to go places. Honestly couldn't choose just one favorite track - everything in this dark atmospheric fairly tale land of an album sounds amazing and should really be listened to as a whole. Don't sleep on this! Anna
Thaumiel Sonozaki’s Amber Ethereal is a wonderful album of ambient music. I’ve really enjoyed listening to it (and it has also really been helping with my anxiety today). It is absolutely worth listening to.
Thank you for releasing such an excellent ambient album. Kamani
