"Waking Season"
Music is universal, and there are very few bands during this time that can effortlessly get their message across with little to no lyrics or vocals, Caspian is one of those bands.
Their music works for everything from driving while exploring the world around you, a bad breakup where you need to vent to find yourself again, or just the need to feel your chest tighten with emotion where breathing becomes a poetic gift. They cross seas and lands to reach a new height for their music, allowing their beauty to ring in your ears and mind as soon as you step out of the venue. I even told some of the band members this to show my appreciation and gratitude for making this music, music that held a line right through me.
Not just any silly twine, they sunk their line into a vast ocean of waves and I grabbed on by listening to 00034 / You Are The Conductor, the beginning of my instrumental journey; it was as tranquil as morning dew on a field of grass that reminds you, its all yours in those moments.
As years went onward I found delicate candles of flame lighting up the once vast space around me, as I found individuals at shows that were there on the same level of music appreciation talking about Caspian as well, a universal bliss. Lines can be crossed, spread, and found in other areas of the globe, from talking, feeling and enjoying those moments with others engulfed by the flowing music.
When you are at the next Caspian show and just as soon as you are feeling the music to take hold look around, and in that time just know it will feel natural to have your jaw suddenly open as you notice others just like yourself are in the same meditative trance you are in, now enjoy it.
Let's just say I missed out on my effort to see them for a second time as their show was Sold Out! It was bittersweet since I didn't see them perform, but I knew others who may have never seen them now had that privilege and enjoyment I had.
You all heard the records and now watch them live, trust me.
I am happy they are getting the recognition they deserve and I wish them the best on their journey of making the world enormously brighter and beautiful, and to all of you reading You Are The Conductor.
Thank You Caspian
