Tadaima by Deep Wild Stillness

We created "Tadaima" spontaneously, with no previous rehearsal of specific melodies or themes, in three hours of recording time. No additional tracks were added later. All of our music comes from a place of deep stillness and connectedness. There are very few recognizable words on the album; this is the language of our souls and hearts.

The word "Tadaima" is what people say in Japan when they come back into their home: "I'm home." It's deeper meaning is "simply now." It is written as 只今. When we are here, now, we are home.
