I Lived a Thousand Nights
A long-distance love song built around the idea that dreams are real meeting places. The thousand-nights frame gives the love a duration that waking life hasn't yet allowed. The bridge moves from longing to mutuality, both people meeting each other in the same dream-place. The companion piece to Across the Distance: where Ch26 names the obstacle, Ch27 names what fills the gap.

About the song
Cinematic spiritual love anthem. Massive orchestral drums throughout, deep heartbeat percussion, soaring string orchestra, oboe melodies, haunting flute, cello ensemble, large wordless choir. Dreamlike atmosphere, powerful dynamics, epic yet intimate.
