about

This song just sort of happened over a 9 hour binge on Reason. Other than the fact it's in A Major Pentatonic and is based around a 64 bar looping pattern I really don't remember much of what else went on.
What I can remember is what it means.

Imagine a paper crane, beautifully folded and left on a windo ledge at night. The window opens and the crane is blown out. There's a light rain and the crane lands in a small stream of water that's running down the side of a street in a neon soaked city.
As the crane swims along the rain gets heavier as over time more and more origami cranes join as it drifts along. Eventually they join a delta and are washed out to sea before taking flight.

There's a piece of Japanese folklore that states if anyone folds 1000 paper cranes they are given a wish. But what if 1000 paper cranes found each other after being lost, and wished simply to be alive.
