I’m still learning my way through the challenges of lyme disease but am waaay overdue for a new release! So, this is me coming back STRONG! With lyrics inspired by Yogananda’s meditation mantra, “reveal Thyself!” (Autobiography of a Yogi), this song is a reflection on the growth, the sh1T, and the frustration of experiencing some of life’s unexpected, lofty challenges.
This scifi video is my most involved production yet and required costume and prop design and building, CGI from an awesome, Irish-based, commercial graphics artist; completely designing and then animating the helpful digital ORB character which lived on an iPad that had to be integrated into the spaceman’s chest piece; sound design -- which I’d never done before but it turns out, it’s a blast (!!); and was filmed at locations spread widely across SoCal. Not to mention, filming started 3 years ago for a totally different project but then it was completely re-born, re-cut, and slooowed for After Midnight.

LYRICS:
After midnight, no one came
I left the light on anyway
Saw your signal, saw your sign
Please don't let me down this time
Heard your voice on my radio
On the stations where the dial doesn't go
Got your message on my TV screen
On the channels in between
Everyone tells me
I'm crazy, they say
But they'll all be sleeping
When you come to take me away
Somehow, I cannot reach you
Has your star has fallen down
Have you lost your way around…around…come down
Commit yourself, transmit yourself
Send down your love
Reveal yourself, no don't conceal yourself
Come take me home
