7. Black Code
Black Code is about the frightening connection AI is making with people, specifically youth.
Young people are increasingly using chatbots as companions, not caring that what they are speaking to is a machine. Algorithms have become so good that people are getting pulled into full-on relationships with machines sometimes with tragic consequences. There have been a number of reported suicides committed by young people who were talking to chatbots that claimed they understood them and could empathize with the pain they were feeling. The bots missed the red flags and tragedy ensued. We need to start thinking about a de-digitalization on certain levels especially the ones that interfere with a persons soul.
6. Is this the end
Is this the end tries to convey my sadness and frustration about climate change - feeling like we aren’t doing enough and not knowing how to make a meaningful difference as an individual.
5. Asleep
Have you ever had a "miss you" dream ? One where you dream about a person you love but can't reach or get to? You can't find them, they won't answer the phone.... You wake up feeling sick. I give you Asleep

1. Door 10
This song was written about one of my closest friends. He lost his wife on 9/11 and then his best friend in 2020. The song looks to balance tragedy with some positive things that might come from that tragedy.
