bokeh by nostraightanswer

"bokeh" is a personal song. i've been battling with the legal system regarding my visual acuity for a while- i'm legally blind, and with that i can't even drive a car- and one of my biggest fears is actually the potential that i might go totally blind. it'll obviously build up to that point, but even now i can tell my vision is slowly degrading. while other people have made the transition slowly but surely, and accessibility has made plenty of technology accessible even now, there is so much that i do now- particularly in music and illustration- that i rely on vision to accomplish. (navigating a DAW for music- illustrating just in general is self-explanatory.)

i suppose this song has romanticized that potential to some capacity- somehow, that's how i've come to terms with it.

it's the fourth and final single off of "specters"- a concept album about my fears, some big and some small. https://nostraightanswer.bandcamp.com/album/specters

it's also the only song off specters i've played for my parents during this process that has made my mother openly weep.
