STREAM THIS SONG: ffm.to/n0yegb3 All socials/recents: linktr.ee/orcamind New OrcaMind song - A Shadow! It is about a person & someone (a shadow) they only meet in dreams. They are in a lucid dream state, and don't want to wake up and be apart. The shadow gives them melodies to remember them by. Upon waking, they will finally write their first song.
For the longest time I thought I didn't experience sound in dreams. But I've been focusing on trying to dream more and remember them better, and I realized I do experience sound, sight, and words. I even woke up with a melody in my head once, but it was gone before I could get it into a usable form. This song really captures exactly how that moment felt. The music video is so liminal and awesome! Reminds me of memories that are really significant but almost inaccessible through time.
that is so awesome that you have been experiencing sounds, sight, and words in your dreams! and even a melody omg! hopefully with more recall as time goes on you can remember the melodies more and record them! that would be so cool :D i'm so glad you like the liminal vibe in the video!! thank you so much bean!
So worth the wait!!! The outro with “you will remember vividly” is my favorite part along with that amazing build-up. Thank you! Please make Midnight Clover an unofficial trilogy 🌙🍀
This was amazing! You absolutely nailed the dreamlike atmosphere with the editing, the colors, the filters, AAAH!! The story of the sleep paralysis/lucid dream entity spending time with a dreamer reminds me of NiGHTS Into Dreams. NiGHTS themself is originally an entity of Nightmare but rebelled against their father, and so helps dreamers rather than harms them.
WOOOOOOWWWW you nailed it! I love how you incorporated the lighting and being in bed with the shadows moving over your faces... Looks and sounds so professional. Amazing work!
Gosh this was phenomenal, loved the Ballad of the Windfish & Midnight Clover Throwbacks, definitely gives it a connection from where you started off to where your now currently. 👏👥
Beautiful cinematography! Absolutely nailed the concept. It all feels so right, from the eerie dark shots with the glow to the old liminal VHS footage. Add in the Shadow/Clover crossover and it's a nostalgic yet amazing full-circle experience. This feels like another big step up! Excellent job!
(Lyrics [OrcaMind]) I saw you in a dream I've had before I was scared I could not see you anymore I chose to go with you and went ahead with sincerity upon your breath you said Coming unreality Derealizing lucidly The song that wrote itself is what you need to hear Let it dry your tears The song that wrote itself will come to you This place is strange, and yet I feel at home Your face recurred, obscured by a shadow I'm in a haze from which I cannot wake I struggle first, but fear will dissipate Hover over vividly Everlasting lucid dream The song that wrote itself is what you need to hear Let it dry your tears The song that wrote itself will come to you The song that wrote itself is what you need to hear Let it drown your fears The song that wrote itself will come to you This other world, recurring dream I wanted you to hear me sing The song that wrote itself has come to me You will remember vividly The moment upon which you wake The song that wrote itself will come to you
You did such an amazing job with this video, it looks incredible!! You really captured the mood of the song with the lighting and the nostalgia vibe as well! I love the callback to Midnight Clover, that is such a nice touch!! You really outdid yourselves, both with this video and the song, OrcaMind just keeps getting better and better!!
SO AWESOME! You guys keep topping yourselves. I'm starting to think that OrcaMind doesn't have a ceiling. You'll just keep getting better and better until the rest of the world is listening 🎶 Thank you! Good job!! ❤
This gives me serious Ruen Brothers vibes (specifically the song, "Summer Sun", from their first album). Beautifully arranged, and you and Josiah harmonize so well. Together, your voices just sound right, if that makes sense.
Just might be my favorite by you guys so far, huge "The Barricades of Heaven" vibes! Awesome jam I wanna listen to over and over again. So glad you two started making stuff together, your covers & originals individually were always awesome. Rock on OrcaMind! :D
OMG you guys have really outdone yourselves here, so perfect!!! You captured the dream vibe amazingly well, and I LOVE the early references. It’s been a wonderful privilege to see how you guys have grown 💜💜💜
I loved it. There's so much charm in your production that blends in with the atmosphere of the video. I want to see what lies in store for OrcaMind. Love, Fishmo.
to be such good musicians and also to be able to film such good music videos and on top of that to write songs with such good lyrics man I feel lucky to be able to witness any of it! thank you for sharing your art with us!
*Love* this! Chills as always, but to me, it hits a bit differently; it feels like losing someone right before going through an arduous trial in your life. It's a loss that hit really hard, and you're in that deep stage of grief where you're kind of in and out of reality. WIth what's ahead, you don't have time to properly grieve - you have to push yourself through it - so you're hearing the voice of the one you lost (whether a dream, a delirious vision, or a visit from an actual spirit) strengthening your resolve to make it to the other side. The song that wrote itself is you learning to trust yourself, and you need to hear it so as not to second-guess yourself.
