REALIZE by Niceness
We dedicate this album to all of our brothers and sisters, past, present, and future, who show us that a just and sustainable world is possible. May we continue to strive to leave our children with a more peaceful, healthy, and prosperous world.
To realize is to understand clearly. There is much at stake in the world that needs our profound realization. As stewards of this wonderful and precious earth, we feel it is our responsibility to deeply and clearly understand our world, our relationships, and ourselves... especially ourselves.
Where there is true realization, there is compassion, patience, and kindness. Where these qualities exist, there is wisdom there too. We bundle all this up in the idea of niceness. The songs in this album are our meditations on niceness. They are straightforward lyrics and grooves to serve as clear reminders to realize what is most important. We feel blessed to have this opportunity to share these songs with you and we hope they will be as transformative for you as they have been for us.
