about

“All things are not shining,
But all the shining things are.”

The sentence above is derived from the book <All Things Shining> by the philosophers Hubert Dreyfus and Sean Dorrance Kelly. The album’s main theme is from a perspective and life of a one that is unable to get out of nihilism and lethargy.

We sometimes look back where, instead of living to find the reason to keep on walking and going on, we would become nihilistic to protect ourselves from the worries and fears that could come during the process of finding it. We might also think about the shimmering of the giant space that flies and disappears quickly with a trail of light above our head, all while we are living on in some way or another. Fiercely or tiresome.

Just to keep on living, we might just choose to forget and dilute the real meaning of life. It might feel like an unending tunnel of nothingness but maybe if we think around, does that mean we might be living because there is something to live on to?

[But, All The Shining Things Are] is a collection and perspective of the journeys taken by these fragments of thoughts and a confirmation that “there are lights here, alive and shining.”

Everything would just be shining in their own places.
