Hemorrhaging Awe began with a question that has followed me through much of my work and many of my relationships: what happens when we meet armor with curiosity instead of conquest? Written with AI as a creative collaborator, this song explores the loneliness hidden inside self-protection and the possibility that strength without connection can become its own kind of wound. I invite listeners to sit with the places in themselves and others that have learned to stand alone, and to wonder what might become possible if awe arrives before judgment.
