"I composed this track titled “Angel Healer 777” with the intention of conveying respect and aspiration. The song has a bittersweet feeling to it, and it reminds me of what the process of healing emanates. The ethereal soundscape sets the scene for what wound is to be healed and it is repetitive like the consistent presence of a benevolent angel who is always there, assisting you along the way. The piano keys on top narrate the inner consciousness of the subject, a constant -and sometimes fragile- dance between the highs and the lows of emotion. The bass is subatomic and thorough, inspecting every inch of your aura. The warrior- striding, steady beat feels like a never-ending path, yet, it reaches a climax of transcen-dance. And at the end of the journey, what’s left is the sound of the pureness of the soul, no longer tethered. The road to healing is nonlinear, and can have dark moments, but there is a magnanimous presence guiding you towards release and peace."
Warm regards,
BEAM
