Waking Up 03:29
Can someone wake me up? Although I wish I was in my dream, safe from harsh reality I need space where I can truly be myself Can someone shake it up? I’m almost halfway done & I bleed, but i don’t feel a thing at all Two weeks, in and off of stable thoughts Oh, please I’m losing faith 'n trust, & what you say is wrong, & I see life distorting endlessly, & it breaks me up, but i’m waking up to see Can someone wake me up? Although I wish I was in my dream, safe from harsh reality, I need space where I can truly be myself Can someone shake it up? (I know I think too much) I’m losing faith 'n trust, & I see life distorting endlessly, & it breaks me up, so don’t wake me up

Time Time I don’t believe in yesterdays (time) but everything is time The letters on your resume (time) turn to pictures in my mind Time Time I often think of better days (time) though everything is fine I guess I just don’t like the age I find myself in (time) I think I need some time, I think I need some time… Time Time You better grab your sweater, babe, it’s getting cold outside I never was a renegade, but I always change my mind Come and join the escapade, untwist your little eyes (time) Watch the stakes, they escalate I’m running from my life La da-da-da-da… Sleep, my little darling, ohhh… It’ll be alright (time) – oooohhhhh I think I need some time, I think I need some time… Time

I wish that I was born in 1950, so I could be 19 in 1969 I'd dodge the war and roam the city, looking for a lovely day to make my own I’d stumble on some words so pretty, I’d forget where I was for a moments time I’d walk alone and know this city will still be standing tall long after I am gone I wish that time was more like stairs and bridges, so I could walk on back to any time I’d like I’d revisit those memories that I cherish and let the loving warmth come on and take me high I realize the things that are most precious are not materials or wealth, but states of mind My memories and music made are very much the things I hold dearest, so I’ll be fine A little bit of “no” never bothered me A little curiosity’ll father me I never got far on my history 'Cause I know that the world is but a mystery A little bit of “no” never bothered me A little curiosity’ll father me I never got far on my history 'Cause I know that the world is but a mystery Ohhhhaohhhhh – the world is but a mystery Ohhhhaohhhhh – the world is but a mystery Ohhhhaohhhhh – the world is but a mystery Ohhhhaohhhhh – the world is but a mystery A little bit of “no” never bothered me A little curiosity’ll father me I never got far on my history 'Cause I know that the world is but a mystery A little bit of “no” never bothered me A little curiosity’ll father me I never got far on my history 'Cause I know that the world is but a mystery I wish that I was born in 1950, so I could be 19 in 1969 I'd dodge the war and roam the city, looking for a lovely day to make my own

Umbra 04:46
Not the hair! Please take my mind Are you lost in thoughts like me? Who’d have thought with all these thoughts, We’ve not the faintest idea No one reaches out Money, on your own Running from the mouth Find a way to go Yours with shiny brown eyes, I’m here In the mourning of your heart Put a flower behind you ear You’re a queen now You’re a king now Standing on your ground Melting to the floor Don’t you want an out? Find a way to go I already gave every ounce of me I already gave every ounce of me I already gave every ounce of me Why aren’t we crossing the boundary? I already gave every ounce of me I already gave every ounce of me I already gave every ounce of me Why aren’t we crossing the boundary?

Open the door, though you may not feel like it Go and explore, through the maze, you’ll be guided Hear what the shore has to say in the moment Face to the floor, you can’t see where you’re going (So once in a while…) Once in a while… Once in a while… (Open your eyes) Once in a while… Once in a while… Once in a while… (Once in a while) Once in a while… Go to the core, all the way to your kindness Oh, what a bore, all the days you were blinded Now that you’ve grown from the heat of the moment Face all the doors, you can breathe when they’re opened (So once in a while…) Once in a while… Once in a while… (Open your eyes) Once in a while… Once in a while… Once in a while… (Once in a while) Once in a while… Once in a while, you’ll have to make that change You don’t want it to feel the same now, do ya? Once in a while, you’ll have to make that change You don’t want it to feel the same now, do ya?

Rectify 03:56
They go right by with glowing eyes “Don’t notify the other side. We should fight.” “There are no words to say. I don’t have an answer today.” Go on and wish them fairly well off with their circumstances in a daze “It shouldn’t be on me to help someone, I’ll lose my day.” “She’s fine. They’re fine. I’m alright...” “She’s fine. They’re fine. I’m alright...” The universe’ll fuck you The universe’ll fuck you You better make it right. You better make it right. “Please step aside, I’m tryna fly.” Please rectify before you die, override There are no questions, eh? Answers, they are on the way “She’s fine. They’re fine.” That’s a lie “She’s fine. They’re fine.” That’s a lie Rectify…

about

The official debut album from ttwig – a new solo project from JUICEB☮X (the vocal half of Fresh Selects duo, Figmore).

––––––––––––––––––––

'Mindless Meadow' began in the first month of lockdown in 2020. I had just moved into a new apartment with my girlfriend at the time. Our 2nd in L.A.

Amazingly, the neighbor upstairs was deaf in one ear & my neighbors who shared the wall with my studio loved music & didn’t mind the noise. Wow.

A lot was going on during that time. Not just for me of course, but the entire world. A multitude of emotions were swirling through my heart & mind & i was hit with a whirlwind of inspiration. To be able to have music as an extension/expression is a whole ass blessing, but boy oh boy did it hit hard during that time. Before I knew it, I had an album’s worth of songs in just a few weeks. This music felt different. Like a transformation was occuring. It didn’t feel like JUICEB☮X.

On my record 'Overthin King,' the last song was called "ttwig" – an acronym standing for “that’s the way it goes,” an outlook that i’ve leaned into as my spirit’s progressed. It was the perfect name & thus, ttwig was born.

Because we were all stuck inside & had no idea how long we would be, I started thinking of this record as a destination. The place where this music lived. Both in the present moment but simultaneously in perpetuity. Mindless Meadow. A grand expanse of space, home to everything under the sun, both pleasant & unpleasant, but all beautiful nonetheless.

My soul lives in this record. These songs deal with everything from an imminent break up ("Umbra"), to a thank you letter for my hometown ("Ossining") to a protest song written from the perspective of opposing sides ("Rectify"). But we’ll get more into that later. For now, however Mindless Meadow has found you, it welcomes you. With open arms.

Get comfortable, close your eyes & press play.

yours with shiny brown eyes,

ttwig
