This song was dreamt and then composed around September 6, 2020.
Then it was edited and revised for recording by an artist Pop Chris, who is going to be the arranger of that new version in the coming printed revisions.
The story of this song's character is one of inter-dimensional traveler who can leave their body at will. The song is then a character in itself that is meant to ground and bring this traveler to the current reality, referenced as "home" in the song.
The original version contains a mix of three languages, Ukrainian, Russian, and English. It is mostly in English.
When the bridge section explores more varied piano techniques, the character is going through a transformation of deciding to stop inter-dimensional travel and explore their "home" reality instead.
This piece has to be intense but at the same time emotions are concealed during the main sections at the beginning.
While the piano part is very simple, vocal performer has much technical control to maintain.
