My song “Orbit is our Dance” samples some of my favorite songs to depict my typical New York City weekend cycling between an electric dancing nightlife and a productive day, when what my soul truly yearns for is to dance on the beach along the waves.Friday nights, I get lost in the lasers and the electric dance of the night life. It’s got me hypnotized, so I keep going back.

Most mornings after, I wake up later than I would like to, with an echo of regret pulsing through me. I rewind the blurry night in my mind. I remember the flashing lights, the smoke, the drinks, people’s silhouettes, but never their faces.

I eventually start my to do list, which I would have already finished if I hadn’t gone out the night before, and sit at the nearest park to recharge in nature. Still, the night calls to me, and I find myself once again surrounded by lasers, dancing to the heartbeat of the city.

As much as l enjoy this hectic cycle in this wonderful concrete city, my soul is full when I’m dancing alongside the waves with the sand under my feet. It’s a thought that consumes me either by recalling sunny memories or anticipating the beaches to come.
