about

THIS TRACK IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING EXERPTS:

"There's something coldly uniform about the human race. Most of them have to work for the greater part of their lives in order to live and the little freedom they have left frightens them to such an extent that they will stop at nothing to rid themselves of it. [...]

"The only thing I must not think of is that I am possessed of other potentialities as well, all of them going to waste, and that I have to keep them carefully concealed. And oh. how this constricts my heart! Yet to be misunderstood is the miserable destiny of people like myself."

(Goethe 27, "The Sorrows of Young Werther")

______

Ambrose Akinmusire interview (from Wiki) where he talks about touring with saxophonist, Steve Coleman:

The experience proved life-changing. Coleman—considered by many to be the spiritual godfather of the current creative jazz scene—challenged Akinmusire on and off the stage. “Ambrose, what’s your concept?” Akinmusire remembers Coleman asking him on a train ride through Germany. “Concept? I’m 19, I don’t need a concept. It’ll just come one day,” shrugged Akinmusire, raising the saxophonist’s ire. “He really laid in on me. I’ll never forget it,” he recalls. “You’ve got to start thinking about it now,” Coleman told him. “Everything you don’t love, make sure that’s not in your playing.”

lyrics

Try not to dwell on all the things you can achieve.
This life ain't endless; you can't defend all potentialities.
You keep them carefully, concealed beyond all eyes.
It breaks your heart, but it's a part of living a life.

Everything you love,
Make sure that's part of it.
Everything you love.
