Airbender Lullaby by Drew Kid

Four years ago, I tried to take my own life.

I made this song today to commemorate that time and the strength it took to save myself, thankfully with the help of close friends/chosen family.

I hope the two versions of this song can give anyone listening hope. Hope if you feel like you're lost, confused, or in total peril. I hope it can remind you of your true Self. I hope it can remind you of all the beautiful things you still wanna do in this lifetime, all the amazing new possibilities and discoveries that still await you.

This is intentionally unmixed/unmastered, because I dig the way it's quiet and pure. I thought a lot about my ancestors while making this and I cried a lot while dialoguing with them, affirming/knowing they're here for me and with me. I don't think I shed one tear when I was in that hospital in June of 2021. I was numb, running from my spirit, and closed off from everything and everyone. But now I let my tears fall whenever I need. I think that's a good way to be.

I believe in the resilience of the human spirit, in the god of action, in the god of rhythm and movement... I hope that whatever you believe in, that you can find the strength you need to move forward and never give up. That's what was told to me.

We need you two,
